Like Ebola victims?
Too soon?
I'd say the panic response is ripe to make fun of.
Yup. It's the aptly-named Rocky River in Berea, Ohio. 12 miles southwest of Cleveland.Quote:

Dupe
I do a lot of stream fishing.
There are a number of ways.
1) Fly fish.
2) 24" leader with a light split shot and Salmon eggs.
Toss in up stream and let it drift down past you a ways. Repeat.
3) Use a spinner. drop it in the current. let it out some. Reel it back in some. Repeat.
All are best when you are in the stream away from the banks.
If I'm on a river or bayou, I prefer to sit on the bank or off a dock. Just throw it out there and wait for something to bite.
Now if I'm on a lake then I prefer to be on a boat :cool:
If I am in a boat I prefer to be on a lake.
All those rocks form eddies downstream of them. Fish tend to hold in those eddies and pools. When I was growing up, I fished for trout in streams like that. Each pool had the potential to have a trout or two. We generally didn't stay long at each pool, though, so it wasn't so much sitting still as moving a bit, stopping for a time, then moving on.
Last time I took my brother's boat out which is a 16 foot flat bottom aluminum boat with a little 25hp motor on it we went on Houston River, which is really just a glorified bayou, he had it full throttle and we hit a frickin tree that was submerged and it popped the motor up. Scared the crap out of us because all of a sudden you have a propeller going full speed right next to your face!
Don't think I've ever seen a frickin tree. Are they related to elms?
No, not so much like elm. I've known several of them, especially while boating in Florida. They have the odd property that they grow under the water, often with no visible part emerging from the water, though that is not always the case. It can be both alarming, and hard on the engine, when you hit one of those with an outboard. It can be even worse if you hit them with an inboard....and let's not even discuss what happens when you hit them with an overboard.
To be honest, it could've been a Sinker Cyprus. Houston River's full of them.
I would love to get them and sell them but:
a) there are alligators
b) they are heavy
c) usually they're stuck
A boat carrying red paint crashed into a boat carrying blue paint
the crew was marooned….
What lies at the bottom of the lake and twitches?
A nervous wreck!
I've heard of dream boats but...
