A recent report by the Environmental Justice Foundation (EJF) shows that the Chinese distant-water fleet is participating in illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing and exploitative practices such as shark finning and human rights violations in the Southwest Indian Ocean.
"Clatsop County Public Health Alert: Multiple Reports of Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning (PSP)
2024-05-28 18:50:39 PDT
There have been multiple reports of Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning from eating mussels harvested in the area from the Washington border to Seal Rock State Recreation Site. Mussels picked since Saturday must be thrown away, as cooking or freezing them does not kill the toxins. Paralytic Shellfish Poisoning can be deadly, especially for children. Appropriate medical care can lessen the risk of death. Do not feed these mussels to pets."
I'm headed to Indiana. If the weather cooperates, I will have a nice fishing week. Will hit Turkey Run Park outside of Louisville either tomorrow evening or Sunday morning. On Monday, I hope to go to Turkey Run State Park in western Indiana. Yes they have the same name; it's a coincidence. I'll work in Indiana all week where I will have access to the White River. I don't yet have a plan for the following weekend. I'm taking a tent, so Daniel Boone National Forest will be on the table. If I am impressed by Turkey Run State Park, I may go back there. If you've got some opinions about theae areas and fishing, I would love to hear them.
The bass are still busy spawning and sitting on their nests, but I was able to land one last night. My hollow deceiver looks skinny out of the water, but it has volume under water where the fibers aren't under tension.
I love this small waterfall, about 5-foot tall. When the temperature is high, I see people bathing here 😊
So, first come, first served 😉
Last Thursday, I lost to several teenagers on a warm day, but I was the only one on Saturday because it was pretty cold 😊
Arriving at a local creek this evening, I discovered that I forgot fishing lines and also premade fishing rigs 😭 So, I just decided to take a walk in the woods 😊 I didn’t forget fishing waders, so, I had no problem walking such trails 😉 BTW, this is a designated trail, which I usually avoid because it very muddy and wet 😊
I got a lot of refusals at a different lake last night, but they were ready to roll at Stone Mountain tonight. I've been trying out a sort of heavy deer hair bug. Fishing with a Tenkara, I am holding the fly on the surface of the water. The "too long" hook allows me to give it a lot of motion on the surface.
I did not see anybody on trails, but I saw some people fishing this creek during rain yesterday. I guess it was recently stocked with trout 🤔 Fishing was not my primary focus - I came here for walking in the woods although I had a fly rod with me 😉
