On a lighter note, @o-nerka.bsky.social has become quite the stick. Couple of fish from this week of Black drum (P. Cromis) & Red Drum (S. Ocellatus) #flyfishing #saltwaterflyfishing #texascoast

If alarm bells are not ringing, they should be. I’ve been calling my reps and will be stopping into regional offices this week, and I’d encourage all of you to stand for our public lands.

Trump Quietly Plans To Liquidate Public Lands To Finance His Sovereign Wealth Fund
President Donald Trump’s executive order to create a sovereign wealth fund requires that the United States come up with heaps of cash quickly, which may make selling out and selling off public lands i...

To those of you who think selling off public lands isn’t in the realm of possibilities. The administration has already begun stripping them of protections.

How Seriously Should We Take the Sale of Federal Lands? Very Seriously, Experts Say
There is a major push within the second Trump administration, Congress, and certain Western states to dispose of federal public land. It's a real threat.

Instafluencers continue to exploit public lands for profit, then vote against conservation and the same public lands that make them money. Social media has ruined the outdoors by giving voices to those who should have never had a platform.

Mike Dunleavy is the worst governor Alaska has had. Yeah let’s push hard for Pebble, support drilling willy nilly, and the destruction of natural resources in the name of “jobs”. Now he wants to permit fish farming which we all know is extremely harmful to the environment. Fucking idiot.

Brooke Rollins, the Trump official who would oversee agricultural policy said during her confirmation hearing today that "mass deportation, at a scale that matters, is something I support."

At least 40% of the workers on America's farms are undocumented people.

The federal hiring freeze does nothing but hurt recent college grads in stem fields just trying to get a fucking job to pay rent. @o-nerka.bsky.social has been applying to jobs with every federal agency relating to conservation and now all that time and effort has been wasted because of corruption.

Remember kids, horseshoe theory is a lie and being unprepared as a leftist for fear that you are the same as the extreme right is a fallacy.

If your favorite guide doesn’t fight for the protection of the natural resources they exploit for profit and pleasure, it’s time to find a new guide. CFCW is a good example of an organization with guides advocating for the restoration of coastal resources. Unfortunately Texas doesn’t have that.

After severing ties with all meta apps the only social media I’m on is here. If anybody needs a break from reality, I still have dates available to fish through June. Hyper fixation on tailing fish always makes me feel better. #flyfishing #redfish #texascoast

Dog field medicine tip: 1 tsp of 3% hydrogen peroxide per 20lbs of dog ingested is enough to induce vomiting. The big dog ate a gauze dressing that was on her foot this morning and we had to make sure it didn’t become a bowel obstruction. Go outside and wait 10-15 minutes after administering.
