The nice thing about Garcia Ambassadeur reels is that there are many, many used ones out there that you can get for about $30. They are solid and should last your lifetime.

It might depend on how much fishing you do. Back when I used to hit the tribs hard every spring and fall, I could expect a number of steelhead that were about 32 inches. Once you got bigger than that, they became exponentially more rare. If you fish hard every year, chances are you will get a bigger one than that eventually. By all means take a lot of pictures, framing and lighting them carefully. I have never gotten a fish mounted, but I have scores of fish pictures that I enjoy looking through.

Please disregard. I think I already found somebody.

Hello, I have a hunting lease available on the Catt/Allegany county line. It is 123 acres of fields, and hardwood forest. We are asking $1,260.00 per year for all hunting seasons. Please write me at [email protected] if interested. I will send you a map, and you can have a look and let me know if you are interested. Thanks. Peter Collin www.pcforestry.com

I haven't, but maybe in the future. I read how recently you are getting into land stewardship. Good for you!

Hello All, I made another tree I.D. video - this time showing how to find black walnut. I filmed a bunch of other species, but that walnut discussion went long so I'll have to make a part 2.

Put it on YOuTube and post a link.

Good for you! The first few lakers I successfully jigged were a religious experience.

This lease has been sold.

Nearly all. If you follow milk prices, you will understand his motivation.

From my perspective, I have a longtime client who asked me to put up a hunting lease for sale at a price he specified. This is a price that we have obtained in the past. What is your perspective?

Hello. I have one large lease available in the Cuba/Rushford area that has suddenly become available. It is 426 acres in the Town of Lyndon, on Rawson Road. It has hills, some cropland, cattail swamp, oak forest. There is a derelict cabin on the property that you may use. I have personally hunted this property and know that it is a haven for turkey and deer, as well as waterfowl. Price $7,242.00 per year for all seasons, exclusive rights. I am a consulting forester, and these leases are for a client of mine (a dairy farm). This lease is all I have available. Because I don't earn much by doing these leases, I have a streamlined process in which I do them: email me at [email protected] if you are interested, and I will send you a map, and you go look at it at your convenience. If you like what you see, you can write or phone me and I will get you a lease agreement. I can't hold the lease for anybody until you come to look at it or come up with the money. So many people look at a lease before they buy, that it is a race to the finish line for your signature and check. Sign the lease, send a check, and you are signed up for a 12 month contract. the lease comes with the following stipulations: You have exclusive hunting rights for all game animals. You have first refusal if you wish to renew your lease. No use of ATVs other than to deploy tree stands or retrieve downed game. Only commercially available tree stands allowed. NO nails in trees, or cutting of shooting lanes. No camping on property (other than the one with the cabin) You can have as many people hunt on property as you wish, but all hunters must sign lease.

Just thought of another kind of fishing I never did, successfully. Dip netting smelt. Bucket list item that involves an actual bucket!

What months do you go?
