      @SpaceGnome:

      But, back to Russell, I cant recall,100% but did I see elephant hide and rhino hide as options to have boots made up?  Thats seems odd, considering their dwindling numbers….

      Rhino hide, no.  They're endangered and trade on any part is completely prohibited.  Decades ago you could find rhino hide boots, but not these days.  Elephant hide is possible, however, it's tightly regulated.  There are only three or four African governments that sell hides and they do so under the constraints of the CITES (Convention on International Trade of Endangered Species).

      Essentially, they only sell hides that come from elephants that died of natural causes or were culled for sustainable herd management purposes.  As a result, supply is inconsistent and some years there is no production at all.  That only controls the supply side; other countries and individual states can regulate the consumption side.  California, for instance, bans the sale of all products made from elephant materials, regardless of the legality of the source.  Enforcement is haphazard, from what I've heard, but people do occasionally get their boots confiscated.

      That's what's legal.  Whether any of this is morally right is up to the individual.  As one of my professors once said, "Never confuse legal and illegal with right and wrong."

            That's great Lando.  Still trying to arrange some private time so I can go fly fishing with my brother in law.  This just gave me some inspiration to try harder!

            Out with the new! In with the old!

                Great pics Lando!  These are just getting me more and more excited for this September when I get to fish the Au Sable river with my Dad.  We're fishing a section that has earned the name the Holy Water, as it's some of the best trout fishing in the country!

                        Good stuff. People used to tell me I fish too much, now I am told I fish too little. Fly fishing can be expensive, and be prepared to meet some elitist pricks.

                                        Funny stuff. Truly Amazing fish.

                                          Robson Green is a complete embarrassment to all fishermen worldwide.  I refuse to watch the jerk….
