Just to keep things fun, here are some more pics of the pups and Bonnie.  Bon Bon is tolerating them for the most part, if they keep their distance that is. 

This is Gauge who seems fixed upon staring at her reflexion.  Who said, chrome on a truck was a thing of the past?!

The girls […]

That 18″ trout feel a little lighter than the last one you caught? You’re not alone. Even the object used to define the Kilogram doesn’t weigh as much as it used to: 
The 118-year-old cylinder that is the international prototype for the metric mass, kept tightly under lock and key outside Paris, is mysteriously losing weight - if ever […]

Bass Pro Shops’ Fall Angler catalog came out recently.  One of the things marked down were the BPS Keel Weights.  From $6.49 and $6.99 down to $5.19 for all sizes and packages.  I will have my order in by morning.
These work great for getting your crawler harnesses down to a desired depth, while providing […]

It’s early Friday morning, and I’ve got seconds to play before a great big deadline hits me like a double-tungsten bead stonefly nymph hits the water. Still, that’s no excuse for abandoning my readers — that brave group who soldier forth every morning to see what inanity I’ve cooked up for you this time.
What’s […]

You are on your way, going on that big fishing trip you had planned for months.  You finish the 4 to 10 hour drive,  you unpack and settle in for the night.  Get your rods all rigged up,  knots retied and you are all set for that morning bite.  You leave the cabin, cottage or […]

A battle is brewing over suction dredging — the activity where someone sucks up streambed gravel, attempts to filter out the gold and other heavy metals, and then cycles the rocks back into the water flow.
Miners say it’s harmless; fish advocates and biologists say it does harm fish habitat. I’d say the dangers are pretty […]

One day, the Trout Underground blog will make me Absolute Ruler of the Planet. I’m sure of it.
Still, until I’m firmly settled on my throne, I’ll settle for unduly influencing world events, like helping spawn another “Underground” blog — this one aiming to wholly dominate the deadly hot, spicy food category:

Yes, it’s the […]

Not quite a year ago, I posted a gear review about my studded-rubber soled wading boots.
To recap, I went to studded rubber soles because hiking along the railroad tracks quickly wore the felt off my studded felt boots, leaving behind protruding carbide studs that skated dangerously on smooth rocks. 

Life is dangerous enough without […]

In fly fishing, timing is everything. That’s why — when the Undergrounders fire up a discussion on the state of fly fishing videos — it’s not that surprising when one shows up to make the discussion a wee bit more interesting:

I’ll write a longer review of Fishizzle when I get the DVD back from […]
