Wherever the standard of freedom and Independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will her heart, her benedictions and her prayers be.

But she goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy.

She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all.

She is the champion and vindicator only of her own.

See anyone familiar?

Maybe. Can't get her to fly fish, though. I keep threatening to sign her up for Lisa Cutter's intro class, which if played right might also offer opportunities to play with sequoias and golden trout.

Hmm,, maybe we need to take her up to a certain creek where she can catch some of those Brooks that have been there since forever. If that doesn't hook her it isn't meant to be.

I can just imagine locals lining up at Hampton Creek the day after the "stocking truck" arrived so they could take home all 250 of those trout for the freezer.  :)

Yeah... except all the released fish were ~3-4." The whole thing was just testing how well you could rear southern App fish in small recirculating systems; next year we'll scale up and other folks/agencies may start up similar drainage-specific systems.
