You know what they say: "If you can't grow it, and you can't mine it, you have to fish it."

Imagine that. Anyhow, even though I have more money in fly rods than Minelabs, I have a hard time putting down the detector to go an fish. But then again, it's a hobby for me and not a living.

Buy a rod and reel. Buy a couple because it's a great way to spend an afternoon with the grandkids.... Give in to your desires, Fred. Buy a rod and reel.

I'd never really thought of the connection, being that a lot of my work has been in places like the Mojave, the Atacama, Mongolia, and the likes. But it could work. YES ! ... perhaps I should trade in my 20-mesh soil screen and backpack for an aluminum dry-fly holder and a creel. I did receive a a call a few years back from a Denver resident who looked in the Yellow Pages under "Geologist" and saw my name near the head of the pack. He asked if the trout in Clear Creek were too full of heavy metals to eat. What I SHOULD HAVE replied - but didn't, was: "Well, listen, Pardner - if them fish had so much heavy metals that they're unhealthy to eat, them there fish wouldn't even float ! " But I didn't, of course. Instead, I dryly referred him to the Colorado Fish & Game Dept for advice. Drats ! Another missed opportunity ! Well, I gotta run. Am trying to keep my chin above water. Guess that's what makes me different than a fish. FB Mines and fish ? ?
