Union County Trout Poachers

[Billfish715]

I stopped by Milton Lake the other day. I wasn't fishing but there were at least five unlicensed aliens fishing for trout. Before you jump to conclusions, the aliens were from Asia and they were not humans. They were cormorants! I watched them dive deeply into the lake and come up with throats full of freshly stocked rainbows. They then roosted on some partially submerged logs and branches in the middle of the pond where they extended their wings and digested their catch. If you fish at Milton Lake and aren't catching what you would like to, look around for the aliens. They used to be fishing machines in Japan where the fishermen would tie a line to a ring which was slipped over the bird's neck. The fishermen tossed the bird into the water and it dove down and caught a fish. The ring around its neck prevented the bird from swallowing what it caught. It was then pulled back up with the line and the fishermen made the bird disgorge the fish by pushing his hand up along the outside of the bird's neck and then send the bird overboard again. They are excellent fishers but they needed to stay in Asia. They are a real nuisance in the USA and can't be eliminated because they are protected by the federal government. What a joke! Now they're eating our trout. It's a problem that has to be addressed.
