(7.) OPINION: Bass Fishing, Rodman Dam & Reservoir, & Ocklawaha River Restoration
Ocklawahaman Paul Nosca's Bass Angling Began in Florida Some 55 Years Ago (1965)!
Fishing Man-Made Ponds & Lakes -- Later I Discovered the Aesthetic Beauty of By-God Flowing Rivers & Streams
Ocklawahaman Paul Nosca is an accomplished stream angler who has caught nine different varieties of bass plus three different species of cold-water trout along with many other fishes from the flowing freshwaters of several Southern states. Although he has fished many of the still-water canals, lakes, & ponds plus salty tidewaters that almost all other Florida fishermen are accustomed-to & greatly prefer; river bass angling in current is undeniably Paul's preferred pursuit. Paddling a canoe (or bank-walking & wading when advantageous), Ocklawahaman skillfully uses buzz-bait & spinner-bait lures almost exclusively while bass fishing moving freshwater. Motorized watercraft for "run & gun" fishing or other aquatic tomfoolery & plastic worms or live shiners for bait are not part of his personal angling ethic. Ocklawahaman practices a style of bass fishing on natural segments of streams that is ideally an aesthetically pleasing & "un-crowded" solemn quest for some of Nature's most game fishes; the great majority of bass caught to be released unharmed for future benefit. North-central Florida's swift-flowing Ocklawaha River is the home water of Ocklawahaman; it is where Paul Nosca first learned freshwater stream angling techniques & where he continues to employ them as often as possible -- from his man-powered canoe.

"Ocklawahaman" Paul Nosca says, "From the rivers that flow from our sister states of Alabama and Georgia to the rivers that originate in our own Green Swamp, REAL experience in the Florida outdoors matters. Sometimes I put on my old jungle boots and go for the gusto!"
