redd (red) verb tr.
1. To set in order. 2. To clear. [From Middle English redden, to clear, to put in order.] noun The spawning area or nest of a fish, especially a trout or a salmon. [Origin unknown.] "Stalking steelhead on shallow-water redds is a lesson in patience and accurate casting. A noisy footfall or the splash of hurried wading can spook these fish." Dave Richey, Steelhead Gives Ride of Lifetime, The Detroit News, Apr 22, 2001. This week's theme: yours to discover. ............................................................................ We should manage our fortunes as we do our health - enjoy it when good, be patient when it is bad, and never apply violent remedies except in an extreme necessity. -Francois de La Rochefoucauld, writer (1613-1680) Bulletin board: http://wordsmith.org/board Online chat: http://wordsmith.org/chat AWADmail: http://wordsmith.org/awad/awadmail.html Archives: http://wordsmith.org/awad/archives.html Pronunciation: http://wordsmith.org/words/redd.wav http://wordsmith.org/words/redd.ram
