![]() And it wasn’t England he saved from the dragon, but somewhere in northern Africa. But since George is thought to have been born in Cappadocia, it’s probable that he was what we’d now call Turkish, given the way national borders have shifted over the centuries.īut the version of the legend most familiar to English readers has St George born in England – he’s the son of the Earl of Coventry, in the Midlands – but such is the young George’s thirst for adventure that he’s soon riding off to other lands in search of adventure. He is believed to have been a Greek soldier serving in the Roman army some time in the third century AD (he died in 303). Because St George was not English at all. Of course, it makes sense that George should carry out his exploits, including his killing of the dragon, in foreign lands, despite being the patron saint of England. ![]() Myths often take time to form and coalesce into their now-familiar shapes, much as David wasn’t the original slayer of Goliath, even though that act is now attributed to him so fully that we don’t remember the name of the original champion. So, St George wasn’t the one who originally slew the dragon, and even when he did, he didn’t do so in England. George mounted Bayard, his horse, and armed with Ascalon, his sword, rode off to the Valley of the Dragon to vanquish the beast. The last maiden alive in the land, Sabia, was due to be the dragon’s next meal the following day. ![]() This young man, who was named George, travelled to northern Africa (sometimes named as Egypt, sometimes Libya) where he learned of a fearsome dragon which devoured a maiden every single day and sent a terrible plague through the land. He then locked her up in the rock and left, taking sword and horse with him. Instead, when she offered him a magic wand that would give him power over everyone and everything in the world, he used it to open a giant rock and expose the crimes of the enchantress: all of the bodies of the newborn babies she had slaughtered. When he was a young man, he wanted to leave her behind and take off on wonderful adventures, so she tried to bribe him with horses and swords in an attempt to persuade him to stay.

The PMD hatch follows around the 4th of July and continues through August.Īugust is known for hoppers - grasshoppers, that is - and the lil' buggers thrive throughout September. These hatches move up stream and dominate until late July. South Fork fly fishing takes off at the end of June when the massive salmon fly and golden stone hatches flood the river. ![]() ![]() First half of July is the height of the prolific stonefly hatches, which brings just about all of the fish to the surface to gorge themselves on one of the largest dry flies, the largest of the Stone Flies, the Salmon Fly is sometimes 3" in length. This program has been in place for five years.įor supreme dry fly action, fished between July through October (typical runoff year). There are no limits to size and quantity. Each chip has an assigned dollar value for anglers to receive. The program encourages anglers to harvest the fish and return the heads to Idaho Fish and Game. The Angler Incentive Program sponsored by Trout Unlimited, Orvis, and the Idaho Fish and Game motivates anglers by placing invisible chips in the snout of rainbows and cutbows. Fish between 8" and 16" (prime breeders) must be released and anglers are only allowed to keep two fish that aren't rainbows. This month, our hatchery team will be paying particular attention to Fernan Lake, where around 12,000 catchable rainbows will be stocked in this lake alone. The introduction of a slot limit increased and improved the quality of fishing on the South Fork dramatically. Over 39,000 catchable-sized (12-14 inch) rainbow trout are set to be stocked in these Panhandle lakes and ponds during the month of April. The South Fork of the Snake is also home to 4,200 fish per mile (2017 at Conant), which makes it one of the most productive Blue Ribbon rivers in the nation. The Snake River is also home to the largest riparian cottonwood forest in the west, and understandably, the most diverse ecosystem in Idaho. Three Rivers Ranch & TRR Outfitters says the South Fork of the Snake River is home to 126 species of birds, including 21 species of raptors.Įxpect to see a unique and diverse array of wildlife, including moose, bear, elk, deer, mountain lions, mountain goats, bobcats, coyotes, otters, beavers, mink and fox.

Cutbow - Cutthroat x Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus clarkii x O.Mountain Whitefish (Prosopium williamsoni).Anglers are encouraged to harvest all rainbow trout they encounter here, as they can compete with native cutthroat. The river also houses rainbow and brown trout. Home to native Yellowstone cutthroat trout, which are considered very willing to take a dry fly. The Idaho Department of Fish and Game points out the South Fork is considered one of the finest trout fishing rivers in the country. Below Palisades Dam begins the stretch of the river, referred to as the “South Fork”. Few rivers in America can provide a fly fishing experience like that of The South Fork of the Snake River. ![]() ![]() ![]() He says, "Nothing changes - except that they continue to grow in the face of all the negative news, in the face of all the reports that demonstrate that they have terrible outcomes, and in the face of all the scandalous reports that investigative journalists continue to dig up."Īs Miron explains, corporate-run virtual schools have consistently been dogged by complaints about high student turnover, low student performance, fraud and waste. Gary Miron, at Western Michigan University, has been doing annual watchdog reports on the virtual charter sector since 2012. they continue to grow in the face of all the negative news, in the face of all the reports that demonstrate that they have terrible outcomes, and in the face of all the scandalous reports that investigative journalists continue to dig up. Together those two entities enroll about half of the nation's virtual charter school students. and Pearson, which runs Connections Academy. The market has been dominated by publicly traded corporations, including K12 Inc. Free to families but paid for by taxpayers, they enrolled about 300,000 full-time students in the 2017-18 school year, according to the National Education Policy Center. In that time, they've been both relatively niche and highly controversial. Virtual charter schools have been around for a couple of decades. K12 Inc., one of the biggest in the business, has reported a 57% enrollment increase, taking it up to 195,000 students Connections Academy, another heavy hitter, has reported a 41% jump, and the list goes on. In fact, across the country, fully virtual K-12 charter schools have experienced a pandemic-induced "surge," as one sector observer put it. Since last spring, Epic enrollment has grown to be double the size of the state's largest public school district. Brower wasn't the only parent to give the Oklahoma-based virtual school a try this year. They taste best when fresh and are good at room temperature for 5 to 7 days. Storing the cookies: I like to store these in an airtight container at room temperature. You can dip these in milk, white or dark chocolate and can also add some sprinkles on top!

low/no light, low nutrients, low flow) will result in little to no new growth in Java Moss. My Java Moss is thin, or not getting thicker. If your tank has warmer temperatures (above ~ 78º F/ 25✬), Java Moss will grow at a reduced rate, and can struggle if it was previously in cooler water. (Though this isn’t required-proper husbandry can prevent this dieback period.) If your Java Moss is new to your tank, it’s expected to have a portion of it “die back” as it acclimates to new water parameters. Water flow through the entire plant mass is critical to ensuring the plant stays attached and healthy. If the plant is thick, ensure that the thick outer portions aren’t blocking light or cutting off water flow to interior areas of the plant. I have brown or unhealthy sections of my java moss. Infusoria grow abundantly on Java Moss - among the most effective ‘first foods’ for any aquatic organism. It’s especially good for those attempting to breed fish, shrimp, or anything else. That means it’s compatible with most-any other flora or fauna species in freshwater tanks. (Fry love this stuff.) Remember, though it grows fastest at cooler temperatures, it’s also able to survive in a wide range. This plant has no conflicts - it’s great for shrimp tanks, fish tanks, and everything in between. Java Moss is so good at removing nitrates you’ll want to ensure you’re dosing ferts, if you have other slow-growing plants in your tank, like Anubias. barbieri in your tank will pull a significant amount of nitrates from your water, increasing the time between required water changes. This ‘paste’ of Java Moss can be glued or otherwise-bound to hardscape for a very fast naturally-growing look.Īnd it gets better: having a ton of t. Those stems will continue growing without any issues! (Be warned: it can take over your tank if you leave bits floating around!) If you’re going for that natural look, it’ll even survive being put through a light cycle in a blender to cut it into fine, small pieces. Literally cut off a portion of the stems, and leave them floating. Propagating Java Moss could not be easier. To ensure optimal growth, gently agitate the stems during cleaning to prevent any buildup. This is even more prevalent in slow-growth conditions (low light/flow/nutrients). It’s critical the you periodically trim the plant to ensure it doesn’t get overly-bushy.Īs with all mosses, algae commonly grows on it. Since plants can’t move to reach nutrients, a lack of flow reduces (or eliminates) the supply of nutrients, and that portion of the plant can easily die. Java Moss has a tendency to get so dense that it can block the flow of water through interior portions of the plant. Of course, all plants need light of some sort, so if that happens, it’ll turn brown as it dies, and it can even cause the entire plant to lose its ‘grip’ on its surface. It is important to trim it properly - as it grows thicker, the interior portions of the plant can be cutoff from light and the flow of water. ![]() ![]() barbieri grows faster in cooler temperatures, so if you’re looking for fast growth, leave the heater out! (Just a note here that if you have other plants that do require relatively-hotter temperatures, Java Moss will be perfectly fine at higher temperatures, it just won’t grow quite as quickly.) It will survive in temperatures ranging as low as 65º F, and up to 86º. It gets even better: Java Moss also doesn’t require a heater. Of course, higher light will push faster growth. Any decent aquarium light is very adequate. However, any light at all will suffice. Technically Java Moss does need light. It doesn’t even need planting - it will quite happily grow free-floating. ![]() This plant is likely impossible for you to kill. (Rhizoids are also what give Java Moss its famous capacity to “grip” the surface it’s growing on.) Ideal Conditions for Java MossĪs with (almost) any other aquatic plant, CO 2 and high light will cause java moss to grow faster. Instead, it spreads via rhizoids - brown, hairy, filament-like structures. Like other mosses, Java moss has no root system. barbieri will produce much larger leaves to capitalize on the CO 2 available in air. It can be dark or bright green, depending on recent new growth. It usually grows between 3 – 10cm thick, depending on tank conditions.īut here’s the kicker: It’s one of the best plants for beginners, and is nearly impossible to actually kill. Java moss has little, delicate, branching green stems with very tiny, oval leaves. (There are a few older names for it, like v esicularia dubyana, but t. The scientific name is t axiphyllum barbieri, but it’s commonly called Java Moss. ![]() ![]()
