Flap ,I don't want to highjack what has turned into a most excellent discussion and I don't know about ...Invariably leading people or ....what they might reasonably infer or ...what someone might have supported.
I can tell you three things that I know for sure Bob Pond was concerned about
he was definitely concerned about the run off of fertilizer into the Chesapeake Bay system and in particular that that run off extended way up into Cental Pennsylvania and Lancaster County where he could make little headway in convincing people concerned about their religion and culture that they should reduce their potential crop sizes by using less ferilizer to save some fish with stripes.
He was also concerned with possibly relocating fish to try to establish spawning areas in other places besides the Chesepeake bay and Hudson River ( I believe he actually transported fish to the CT river but I'm a little fuzzy on that memory)
He also was in favor of Catch and Release as evidenced by the fact that he would always let me know that his people would be glad to rig my poppers with single tail hooks instead of the standard trebles (if I wanted) to make it easier to practice Catch and Release .
These are facts from which people can invariably be lead or reasonably infer whayever they want.
