Hi, Money Penny, you're talking my language "looking like flashing mirrors." How provocatively illustrative can you get? So the fabulous Tarpon are disappearing from your waters. It seems to me that Ted Williams loved to "hang them" for a spell on his Lefty K. streamer? This is one fighting fish that I've always wanted to play.

So many great fighting fish are disappearing slowly from river regions here also. Dams, pollution blocks and just over fishing have proven too much for their dying zeal to reproduce against all odds. Catch and release is the only way to go. They've finally caught on to this, the boat captains and fishing guides in distant places. The fly fishermen can be thanked for this. My singular memory is the mauling hour and a half back and forth hauling in 200 yds. of line with a Blue Fin Tuna on a 5 ounce fly rod in Baja years ago.

It was 108 in Reno Wednesday - a record. Truckee town at the entrance to North Shore Lake Tahoe is a busy stopover place these days with tourists and visitors from all over packing the old downtown streets. Parking is a problem as is everywhere at this time of year in these Sierra vacationland places. Last Summer in Truckee a guy from New Jersey hauling a big trailer backed into my van as he tried to manuever and park. Just him and his Mrs., he was a very nice elderly fellow (like I think I am now?) and all was settled amicably.

Have fun.
