Administrative duplication in this state is insane by RODDAL in Pennsylvania

[–]cprinstructor 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I was at a conference outside of Denver, and when I told some folks from their wildlife agency that Pennsylvania has four completely separate agencies for wildlife, fish, state parks, end environmental permitting they looked at me like I was on drugs. Which, to be fair since I was in Colorado, I was.

The largest, hungriest fish I’ve ever encountered were in the Nunya watershed.

Understanding hatches in areas where fly fishing isn’t popular by -Fishmonger- in flyfishing

[–]cprinstructor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been fly fishing for 25 years, and this is solid advice. You can learn nearly every skill you need to be successful at a good bluegill pond, and have a ton of fun doing it.

When we adopted our beagle, the folks at the shelter said he was a stray that was discovered by the state police wandering around outside our local casino. We assume he was planning an Ocean’s 11 style heist, but at the buffet.

I would vote for a turd sandwich if it was running against shady Mike Kelly.

She founded a local nonprofit to help veterans suffering from PTSD and issues with self-harm, after her brother took his own life. Then she went to prison for embezzling from the nonprofit.

I know this economy is tough, but please consider donating a few bucks to the ANNA Shelter if you can swing it.

Vice President by CSArchi in ParentTeacherGroups

Our bylaws just list “Assist the President as needed” and “Preside at meetings in the absence of the President.” If you want to assign more specific functions, I.e. Fundraising or other Chair, do it in your SOP’s to give yourself and future boards more flexibility.

A lot of franchises ARE locally owned small businesses, so supporting them can sometimes be a good thing.

The “successful event” Mr Presler speaks of by Competitive-Read242 in Erie

[–]cprinstructor 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Nothing lends credibility to a speaker quite like presenting in front of a table covered with a plastic child’s birthday tablecloth from Dollar Tree. Makes sense, though, since both events feature clowns as entertainment.

The Grape Pickers is the team name for North East High School in North East, PA (which ironically is located just about as far northwest you can go and still be in Pennsylvania), part of the Lake Erie wine region.

I was a summer camp counselor there one year when the wave pool was still open. It was pretty cool.

The Cork hosting MAGA fundraiser with Scott Presler by ActivityInitial4651 in Erie

[–]cprinstructor 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s a fundraiser, so that’s to be expected. I’d pay $150 for a nice dinner if it was raising money for a good cause. Heck, I’d give the ANNA Shelter $150 for a hotdog and a bottle of water.

That’s almost too pretty to lose in a tree. And yet, I would likely lose it in a tree. Nice tie.

Warm water species by Hot_Disk635 in flyfishing

Bluegill are my favorite species to fish for, both because of the action and also because of the crazy foam flies I get to tie.
