How did the Fish-In Go?
Anyone know the results of last weekend's fish-in at Huey Lewis's Montana Stream?

Here it is...

In defense of Huey Lewis; he is a private landoner of the slough, which is really an irrigation ditch. (In Montana, waterways (i.e., rivers, streams, creeks) are public up to the high water mark) When he bought the property, he cleaned out the mess there which consisted of old car bodies, balls of old fence, tires, and cleaned out the silt that had clogged it up.

There are a lot of celebrities who own property in Montana and some folks tend to make them a target because of their high profile.

Ted Turner, for one, gets a bum rap, IMHO, as well. He's done a tremendous amount of work on the environment within his ranch, but some of the local hunters and fisherman are always hounding him about access or other issues.
