The water up there all has a dark root beer color to it, even the whitewater looks like A&W foam.


I just got back from the Jordan Valley (no blatantly obvious wars going on down there) today and I log onto pondboss and I become spiritually enlightened. Man, what a great site. I just discovered there is an oasis on the Jordan/Iraq border that holds a 20-lb carp. I've never been a carp fisher but I need to do a little freshwater fishing so carp it will have to be while in Jordan.
