Ever wanted to know what it’s like to go fishing with a genuine fly fishing blog author? Wonder why we never mention where we fish – like it’s some great, dark secret? Nothing could be further from the truth. We sure talk a helluva game, but when it’s time to show our l33t skills, we [...]

Tool usage among non-primates is pretty rare. Dolphins have been known to use sponge to protect their nose from ocean coral, but a bait fishing bird is a first.

Stream etiquette is the only topic capable of reducing fishermen to women, the same sordid tales of woe about the unthinking, unfeeling, heartless SOB what “low holed” them and didn’t even offer a towel. Brownliner’s don’t have a meltdown when approached mid-pool, we’re just grateful he relieved himself downstream of us.

Take a proud and noble prey and reduce it to a “turd” of shapeless fish flesh? The Wunder Boner is the greatest argument for catch and release ever devised… Not even McDonalds has the nerve to display how a Fillet of Fish sandwich is made – with good reason, it’s liable to be as photogenic [...]

I’m with John Merwin, but having had some experience in this area, I’ll decipher the part that’s giving him trouble… It’s entitled, “Extreme Rock Fishing” – there’s a rock, some fishing, and it’s got a Metallica riff in the background.

Asian Carp videos show how infested the Missouri, Illinois, and Mississipi have become – and the danger to boaters posed by a 20 lb mass in flight. Only an electric fence seperates the Asian Carp from the Great Lakes – and scientists predict the complete collapse of the fishery if they’re able to push past their electric defenses.

Science gone awry, now it’s torch and pitchfork time… I yawned at the stem cell debate and didn’t blink at the prospect of genetic manipulation of crops, but Pavlovian fish sounds like something worth firebombing a clinic or two. Fish taught to swim into a net when a tone is sounded – it’s every guide’s [...]

Think again. This isn’t one of those silly hijackers requiring you to dance around with a bottle of 409 hoping the neighbors don’t notice, this sure ain’t something you can point a finger at and bemoan it’s presence – no, this is something much better, with big sharp teeth that abducts terriers and small children. [...]

It’s completely off topic and that’s intentional, I think it was the Trout Underground reference to Edward Abbey and “The Monkey Wrench Gang” that crystallized my resolve, the mayhem we’d love to do but shouldn’t. Technorati Tags: youtube, telemarketer, payback time

The Singlebarbed “Grinch” took the day off giving us a rare opportunity for some European feel-good advertising. We promise to follow up this rare optimistic post with something hellish and deadly.. Technorati Tags: mayfly, vodafone, optimism
