I know just enough about C to be dangerous, and my real C knowledge is pretty much K&R. As for the large trout, them are definitely on the hard to find list here in WV. Now if I still lived in Rapid City S.D., this time of the year is a great time to pick up the odd old hook nosed Brown Trout that might go as high as 8 or 9 pounds and take up 30+ inches laying on your yardstick. I had 2 such on my stringer about 40 years ago one late April day but they got to fighting it, broke it and got away. I thought my wife, in the other end of the boat, was going to throw me overboard to retrieve them, but I don't swim well, don't even float, and the nearest solid earth was 170 feet away, straight down... Fortunately for me she didn't. Unfortunately, she had a stroke and died a year later, at age 34. I still miss her, she was what you would call a good woman. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
