Tremendous catches of Rockfish, and they’re doing well on Lingcod, too. Expect a few Calico Bass and Sheepshead mixed in. Clear across the country in New York, changing flows has helped the fishing on the Salmon River. Steelhead have been eating eggs and beads in Ontario-roe, Honey, and Candy Corn. Chasin’ Tail Adventures gives it four stars out of five. Between the two in Utah, reports are solid for the Green River. Anglers are doing well with large terrestrial imitations (like grasshoppers and black ants) and using a scud, shrimp or imitation-salmon-egg trailer. Often the fish are attracted to the larger presentation and then hit the smaller one. For a free report on waters near you, www.fishhound.com (http://www.fishhound.com). Guest Intro This week, it’s our annual Fish Schtick Holiday Gift Guide.

Secretary of Agriculture, Tom Vilsack, announced this week that the Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is launching a new Gulf of Mexico initiative, which will focus $50 million over three years in conservation assistance to farmers and ranchers in priority areas along seven major rivers that drain to the gulf. We like it. Maryland DNR is offering Clean Marina Seminars for marinas and boatyards. If you run one or work at one, get to one of these events! They’re free. In Washington, DC – environmental groups are once again calling for the ban of lead sinkers and fishing weights. Nothing new there. In Toronto – a city-wide ban on the sale of shark fins, somewhere Conway Bowman is smiling. Florida hosts the first PAA Tour event of the year in January – yep, January. The professional fishing season gets underway BEFORE the BASSMASTER Classic in … January on Lake Toho. Iowa – confirmation that Silver Carp have entered the Iowa Great Lakes is unfortunate news.

What’s fishing like in Costa Rica this time of year? Mike, give us your life story, how did you wind up doing what you’re doing? Tell us about your art – what kinds of things are you doing? You’re getting a lot of press, tell us about that. Your blog lets people see what you’re up to day-by-day, and it’s an interesting look into the life of an artist. Has it changed the way you are doing what you’re doing? What other artists do you like to look at? Do you influence one another? Have any future fishing exploits up your sleeve?

No one in the fishing industry is making such an accusation. But they are pointing out some facts that certainly could lead a suspicious mind in that direction: As of Monday afternoon, Oct. 19, the web site for the Interagency Ocean Policy Task Force Interagency Ocean Policy Task Force has yet to post the dates for the final public meeting, set for the Great Lakes area. Yet an internal memo for task force members, dated Oct. 14 and coded "not for public distribution," says the meeting will occur Oct. 29-30 in Cleveland. Whether intentional or accidental, a delay in public posting of this information certainly could prevent activist anglers from having adequate time to plan on attending. And activist anglers have been busy lately, expressing their displeasure that the task force gave no consideration to the value of recreational angling in its Interim Report, released in mid-September. That report is the first major step for establishing a federal strategy for managing the nation's oceans, coastal waters, and Great Lakes, MauroMedia no 55:15
