One man cannot hold another man down in the ditch without remaining down in the ditch with him.

I bent the truth to be kind, and I have no regret, for I am far surer of what is kind than I am of what is true.

Rule Changes:

The Stream is restricted to fishing only from Wilder Springs to 25 yards above Fogey Tubes. No recreational wading, swimming, diving, or jumping off any portion of the stream bank allowed. Floaters and fisher-men are asked to respect each others activi-ties.
