Too Tired to Write Anything of My Own, So Look Here…
I’m too darned tired to do much on the site tonight, so I’ll just point you to a cool blog that I added to the blogroll this week: Cutthroat Stalker. It’s run by Scott Carles and focuses on fly fishing for native trout (mostly cutthroat, obviously) in Utah and the surrounding areas. Scott features some wonderful photography, and I particularly enjoyed his recent post entitled “Micro-Creek Fishing”. That little creek looks like something Insane and I would tackle. In fact, we have tackled something of that size before. The little creek Jacqulyn and I fished up in Maine was about that size, but the little brookies we caught weren’t quite the size of those cutts Scott and Dan brought to hand. Check out Cutthroat Stalker. I think you’ll enjoy it.
Speaking of the blogroll, I probably need to check all the links and whatnot. It’s gotten so long that there’s no way I can keep up with all the sites listed, especially with my web-browsing time being curtailed so much lately. Ah well, a fly fishing blogger’s work is never done, and like I said, I’m awfully tired tonight…
Here’s a site I heard about from a lady at work. It’s the Eagle Cam run by an organization called the Biodiversity Research Institute. It features 24 hour a day live video footage of a pair of nesting bald eagles on the coast of Maine. These eagle cams have been around awhile, but I’d never stumbled across one. There are several set up all around the US and Canada. The lady who told me about it has a friend who keeps one up on her desktop all day. I’m sure the IT folks at work would love me for that one…
Take care,
Nathan

Nathan,
Thanks for pointing in my direction! We have a fair number of these little creeks that harbor fish of a size out of proportion to their water. Next time you’re in northern Utah, swing by and I’ll take you to a couple.
Speaking of blogrolls, I’ve got you added to mine.

Scott,
Thanks for adding us.
I’d love to take you up on the offer. Unfortunately I don’t get out your way nearly often enough. I will be going through the northeaster corner of Utah later this summer on the way back home from our Glacier NP road trip, but I won’t have time to fish. If you’re ever down this way, I can take you to some much larger streams that hold much smaller trout
But I love them anyway. Take care,
Nathan

It’s a deal!
Ummmm… just got this pingback a few minutes ago–somebody’s stealing your content and running it through a thesaurus (or something like that). It makes for hilarious reading, but not too cool to do (I put the [dot] so this reply doesn’t create a link to them, you can replace it with a ‘.’ and see for yourself): bowhuntingsupplies[dot]com/2009/06/too-unimaginative-to-transcribe-anything-of-my-own-so-look-here%E2%80%A6/
You can do a whois search here to find out who is hosting that site: ws.arin.net/whois/?queryinput=70.84.75.18

Scott,
I’ve seen that one before (Wordpress give me a listing of sites linking here), but I just haven’t been concerned enough to do anything about it, though I suppose I should be. You’re right, it is some fairly entertaining reading. I do take a bit of offense at their identifying “unimaginative” as a synonym for “tired.” I’m a pretty imaginative fellow even when I’m tired. There are a couple others that occasionally steal our content. I’ll try to be more vigilant in policing this stuff. It really is important for us who publish content online to protect our property, both for our own sakes and others.
I won’t have to worry about it for long because, according to several emails I’ve received, I am apparently the winner of both the Toyota and Lexus lotteries! I’ll finally be able to retire a rich man on a ranch with a nice little trout stream! No more barely scraping by, blogging for a living!
Take care and thanks for the warning,
Nathan

Nathan,
Best I can tell, that mess with bowhuntingsupplies, makes you famous.

Jason,
True, but one man can only handle so much fame, and I surely don’t want to end up like Tom Cruise or Mel Gibson.
