Angler Lands Three: People that is...

This week's fly fishing quote of the week comes from a story on Oregonlive.com about a salmon angler who rescued three people from the water by casting to them and landing them.

"I was wearing waders and boots, so it wasn't very practical to try to get to them. If I became part of the problem, it wouldn't help anyone. The only safe way was to bite off the fly, so I (bit off the leader), and before I realized what I was doing, I started casting to them."

Precision casting saves lives.

Finally the right qualifications to fix this mess

An article via Philly.com in reference to G. Edward DeSeve who is expected to be tapped by the Obama administration to oversee the Federal stimulus program.

A fly fishing fan, DeSeve once said he would go "anywhere there is a trout in the water."

Hmmm a fly fisher with the full spending power of the United States of America behind him. I am thinking he could be the perfect new fishing buddy.

Let's wish him luck as he wades in to his new assignment....
