Lament of the
Fly Fisherman
I wish I'd catch a fish
As fancy as my flies.
They float in feathered splendor,
Catching only lies.
I wish I'd hook a fish
That's worthy of my gear.
To pay back Kaufman Streamborn
Will take at least a year.
I wish I had a fish
To mount upon a plaque.
But all my casts have caught
Is a two-inch stickleback.
That's not so bad, I guess,
As catching only bats,
Or seeting that the fish
Prefer to eat live gnats.
I wear my Connemara
And my twenty-pocket vest,
But I'd trade a ten-inch trout
For Eddie Bauer's best.
The fish will barely nibble
At my finely-baited hook,
The mosquitoes bite at everything:
None of it's by the book.
The book-it's most explicit
About varieties of rise,
And tells you how to cast
If you see their beady eyes.
But they rise and sip and twinkle,
In the evening sun,
Splash the water into wrinkles
As they wink at me in fun.
Give me just one Dolly!
I've been here since the dawn;
Everyone around me
Has triumphantly long gone.
As I warm my freezing fingers
Pack my tackle up,
The last fish leaps and lingers
Flaunting his chance to sup.
It's not a sport for cowards,
Everest demands much less.
The courage of the angler
Lies in leaving with noblesse.
I'll be back again tomorrow
Stalking the wary trout.
And one of these days-you watch-
I'll finally wear him out.

Calendaring
Changes on
Anchorage Bar
Al Szal, Third District Area Court
Administrator, addressed the Anchor-
age Bar Association on February 2,
1981 concerning changes in Anchorage
calendaring procedures. Effective Janu-
ary 1, 1981, a new calendaring order
will:
Create a criminal division which is
to be composed of three (3) judges,
plus the presiding ludge.
Create an early-assignment in-
dividual calendaring system for a six
to) judge civil division.
Individual Civil Calendar
By adopting the individual civil
calendar system, it is understood that a
judge of the civil division and his staff
will calendar all matters in all civil
cases assigned to them. Each judge will
be expected to provide his calendaring
schedule to central calendaring daily to
allow central calendaring to issue a
combined daily trial calendar for the
entire court.
One (I) criminal division judge
will serve as a floating judge to include
travel to the bush to handle both crimi-
nal and civil matters, handling of over-
loads on criminal or civil dockets in
Anchorage, and whose assignment
shall be by the presiding judge via cen-
tral calendaring.
Hearings
The presiding judge may reassign
the following hearings: temporary re-
straining orders; preliminary injuc-
tions; prejudgment attachment hear-
ings; other priority matters as required
by rule or statute; criminal trials that
cannot be handled within 120 days by
the criminal division; other trials when
the judge to whom a case is assigned
cannot handle the matter, and the
floating judge cannot handle the mat-
ter, and no other judge has agreed to
handle the trial, and an emergency sit-
uation exists for the parties to the liti-
gation.
Assignment of administrative ap-
peals will be assigned to individual
judges by the presiding judge through
the appeals clerk on a rotating basis.
All dispositive motions will be set
by the central calendar division for Fri-
clay afternoons from 1:30 p.m. to 4:00
p,m. All other motions will be sched-
uled by the individual judge.
Domestic Relations
Contested domestic relations cases
will be assigned by the presiding judge
through the central calendaring divi-
sion in the following priority order: (1
to the judges in the criminal division,
(2) to the floating judge, and (3) to the
judges in the civil division.
