Redfish (S. Ocellatus) being held above the water.
On a lighter note, @o-nerka.bsky.social has become quite the stick. Couple of fish from this week of Black drum (P. Cromis) & Red Drum (S. Ocellatus) #flyfishing #saltwaterflyfishing #texascoast
If alarm bells are not ringing, they should be. Iβve been calling my reps and will be stopping into regional offices this week, and Iβd encourage all of you to stand for our public lands.

To those of you who think selling off public lands isnβt in the realm of possibilities. The administration has already begun stripping them of protections.

Instafluencers continue to exploit public lands for profit, then vote against conservation and the same public lands that make them money. Social media has ruined the outdoors by giving voices to those who should have never had a platform.
Mike Dunleavy is the worst governor Alaska has had. Yeah letβs push hard for Pebble, support drilling willy nilly, and the destruction of natural resources in the name of βjobsβ. Now he wants to permit fish farming which we all know is extremely harmful to the environment. Fucking idiot.
Little R&D on Jamesβ new homebrewed casting platform. Iβm super impressed with it. #flyfishing #guidesdayoff #redfishonfly
Short of permanent protections by an act of congress Pebble is still on the table. Iβm a guide ambassador for Save Bristol Bay and wouldnβt hold my breath that Don Jr. has any spine. Donate to TU/SBB, the Bristol Bay Heritage Land Trust, and tell your reps we need permanent protections now.
iβm so tired but iβve got obligations π©
Brooke Rollins, the Trump official who would oversee agricultural policy said during her confirmation hearing today that "mass deportation, at a scale that matters, is something I support."
At least 40% of the workers on America's farms are undocumented people.
Fuck your peaceful resistance bring back the guillotine
The federal hiring freeze does nothing but hurt recent college grads in stem fields just trying to get a fucking job to pay rent. @o-nerka.bsky.social has been applying to jobs with every federal agency relating to conservation and now all that time and effort has been wasted because of corruption.

Remember kids, horseshoe theory is a lie and being unprepared as a leftist for fear that you are the same as the extreme right is a fallacy.
βUnder no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessaryβ - Marx
If your favorite guide doesnβt fight for the protection of the natural resources they exploit for profit and pleasure, itβs time to find a new guide. CFCW is a good example of an organization with guides advocating for the restoration of coastal resources. Unfortunately Texas doesnβt have that.
After severing ties with all meta apps the only social media Iβm on is here. If anybody needs a break from reality, I still have dates available to fish through June. Hyper fixation on tailing fish always makes me feel better. #flyfishing #redfish #texascoast
π Southern Resident Orcas are down to just 72 individuals, struggling without enough salmon to survive. Breaching the lower Snake River dams could be the lifeline they desperately need. @emilyrandallwa.bsky.social

Thankful for the great people in my life and Huff Marine for helping me get the skiff back up and running.
Books are back open and I am booking through the end of may until I return to Alaska for the summer season!

But I agree, if you donβt know what they ingested you need to get to a vet and get xrays. In our case itβs been things that can come back out the way they went in.
This is for emergency field care only if you know what your dog has ingested. Many sporting dog vets still recommend this and I have consulted quite a few on the topic.

I am not a veterinarian and this is not medical advice. Always consult your vet before administering medication or treating your animals please.
Dog field medicine tip: 1 tsp of 3% hydrogen peroxide per 20lbs of dog ingested is enough to induce vomiting. The big dog ate a gauze dressing that was on her foot this morning and we had to make sure it didnβt become a bowel obstruction. Go outside and wait 10-15 minutes after administering.
New motor going on, weβre back up and running!
