Shadow Flats - Saltwater fly fishing is simple, it's the catching that can be complicated. During those times between nervous water and dehydrating sun is some kind of calm, a gradient of peace that trends toward a tight loop, a bent rod, and a racing heart.

We can learn a lot from the natural instincts of other species behaviors. I was scuba diving yesterday and saw the most amazing sight. It is called a bait ball. when small fish swarm in a tightly packed spherical formation about a common center. It is a last-ditch defensive measure adopted by small schooling fish when they are threatened by predators. In this case it was a bait WALL. Literally about 30 feet wide by 100 feet long. One of the most impressive sights I have seen underwater. Bait balls work as a cohesive unit with everyone playing their role. The fish in the middle are like the operators. They have no idea what is going on or if a predator is nearby, they just swim. The fish on the outside are in constant lookout for predators. Within the school itself, there is no centralized intelligence aware of how the school has configured itself. Rather, the schooling behavior is the consequence of relatively simple rules followed by each individual fish in the school, such as remaining close together, moving in the same direction, and avoiding collisions with each other. As teams, we could stand to follow similar less choreographed rules. Move in the same direction and don't step on each other's toes. Help each other out. The bait ball reacts to movements from a predator with lightning reflexes, rhythmically streaming up and down with rapid direction changes. When a predator approaches, they can split and re-form behind the predator. In our case, they split around us until they realized we were not a threat and they re-formed. Similarly, when competition is threatening, react swiftly, but don't veer too much from your north star. Re-form and continue down the path you know will help you grow your company. https://lnkd.in/g9gtpsEx

Yet another tragic loss of life due directly to the Government of New South Wales' refusal to take the issue of marine #entanglements seriously. #NetsOutNow Please consider signing and sharing this petition. This outdated, ultimately ineffective, and indiscriminately destructive reliance on #sharknets must cease. More effective, modern, and humane alternatives exist. The massive toll upon non-target species is categorically indefensible. Maintaining the outdated policy despite widespread community concerns, ecological considerations and animal welfare principles is inexcusable, and demonstrates a fundamental acceptance of fear- and ignorance-based policymaking. #marinemammals #marineturtles #EntangledWildlifeAustralia Chris Minns Tara Moriarty Hannah Tait Emilia Michael Jas Chambers Sharon Livermore Save Our Marine Life Karl Goodsell Nick Chiarelli Robina Tower Jessica McKelson Bree Talbot Stephen Van Mil Genevieve Robinson Jacquie Pohl Jacqueline Pinard, B.B.A. ORRCA Inc.
