Ian,
there is a story told that's very true about spots fishing. That as a kid or in the beginning it's the joy of going fishing. after that passes it's catching the most. then the biggest, then just having time to be able to fish. It's so true with koi. You seem to go full circle to arrive back at the place you started.
I started out to have a pond to accent my japanese garden. Then i wanted to have one of every color variety. then just show fish. Now i'm back to watching my asagi and glad just to have time to do it. I don't show anymore. But I do like to manage a few benching crews during the year. Portland, oregon's show is coming up the last weekend of this month. Don't know if i'll be attending yet.
Always went with jo ann and stayed over night but she's still recovering from open heart surgery. We celebrated our 35th wqedding anni today.
Arthur,
I need to get over and see your pond someday. Any photos of the Asagi of yours? has it aged well? Did you know the breeder?
