You can believe me when I say I climbed the ladder on fish last night at dusk - 1 lb, 2 lb, 3 lb, 4 lb caught sequentially on a little shad rap. Did we eat them floured and sauteed and finished off w/ wine and tarragon and butter?
Nope. They were bass. Largemouth. The biggest fought like a young lab. I was hoping I had found walleye.
Speaking of walleye. And Mille Lacs. And the netting controversy. And Steve Fellegy writing his final column because he disagees w/ The Mille Lacs Messenger's reportage and editorial stance on the "gathering rights" issue. Steve claims that our government has granted the Indians "unequal rights based on skin color and ethnic origin" alone. The decision was not based only on skin color and ethnic origin. The mirror that Steve writes of also reflects history,and treaty, and law, and politics and money, and fish,and mammals,and trees,lakes, prairie, and lawyers and lives and deaths, and so much more. If it were only that simple.... If it were only that simple.....well, then.... Iraq would be that simple too. Nothing ever is. Except for some food recipes. Thank God for that.
