Hardy jet fly rod

Lolita C. Baldor Associated Press Published 1:55 PM EST Nov 5, 2018 Washington – The Pentagon says that a Russian fighter jet flew dangerously close to a U.S. military reconnaissance plane in international airspace over the Black Sea on Monday. Pentagon spokesman Eric Pahon says the Russian SU-27 made a high-speed pass directly in front of the U.S. EP-3 and came “very, very close” to the American aircraft. Pahon says the Russian jet then activated its afterburners creating more turbulence, and then made a second pass by the U.S. plane. He says it was deemed an unsafe encounter that put the U.S. pilots and crew at risk. He says there was no communication between the two aircraft and the incident lasted about 25 minutes. The U.S. EP-3 Aries came out of Souda Bay, Greece, and was conducting routine operations. … [Read more...] about Pentagon: Russian jet flies too close to US aircraft

The Detroit News Published 12:04 p.m. UTC Jul 14, 2018 Lynn Lake, Manitoba — Somewhere on that cedar-thick esker was a bull moose the guys had seen scampering skyward through trees and moss and away from a 16-foot aluminum boat that had invaded Pyta Lake on a Friday morning in late June. But that was minutes ago and the moose had now given way to fishing northern Manitoba wilderness water: charcoal-colored, deep in places, but otherwise rimmed with shallow bays and cuts filled with light-green wild rice, deeper-green lily pads — and northern pike waiting to chomp on a white Clouser Minnow fly flashed with red tinsel. This was going to be the main act on a 2019 trip. Rather than wear out spinning reels and every Dardevle and Mepps spinner a guy could throw into Canada’s cold depths, the plan this year was to get serious about using a fly-rod combination rather than simply dabble with one as had been done in earlier years — for trout on the Au Sable and … [Read more...] about Fly-rod pike turn Canada’s wilderness fishing even more glorious
