A note from the Frugal Fisherman

Editor’s Note: With deadline day nearing an end, the Frugal Fisherman frantically appeared at NoC headquarters brandishing a hastily scribbled note, several pictures that were beaten up and still dripping mud, and a cd in a jewel case with the words KY PICTURES scrawled on it. Before we could open our mouths to query him, he had vanished.

We here pass on–unedited–the first, coherent, portion of the Fisherman’s note, before it veered off into deranged lunatic conspiracies about fish, fowl, early March water temperatures and NCAA Tournament brackets:

“I had planned to regale you with stories of largemouth bass and flathead catfish from this past weekend’s fishing and camping trip. But alas I didn’t catch a thing on the nearly 20 miles of Kentucky River between Lock 10 in Boonesborough and Lock 9 at Valley View.

And when I say I didn‘t catch anything, I mean I didn’t even get a bite. The river was cold and clear, a deadly combo for a rusty fisherman like myself. Good thing there’s this coming weekend’s NCAA bracket announcements to save the day….”
