The Underground’s Friday Morning Madness: Weird, Weirder, and a Photograph to Prove It.

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 waiting? Damned little, but no problem — I’ve got resources. Like Moldy Chum, who somehow manages to find photographs of a tattooed, nearly naked woman engaged in acts of fly tying:
Frankly, we don’t want to know how those smut peddlers found this site (we’re just jealous) — we’re content to post the picture, take the spike in traffic (you’re all such guys), and move along. (Take that, you bikini warriors at GoBlog.)
While you’re there, check out Moldy’s eco-friendly response to an Underground plea — where I asked you kids to invest a few seconds (literally) to help control largely unregulated suction dredging on sensitive portions of California’s fly fishing streams.
Moldy did it. You should too.
And while you’re in a “doing something” mood, don’t forget: today’s the final day for entries in the Underground’s October Caddis Dry Fly naming contest, where the winner will receive Fabulous Prizes (OK, a book) and the satisfaction of knowing that a largely unremarkable, soon-to-fade-into oblivion dry fly will bear the name they dreamed up probably while drunk.
Still want more? You can always whip up a short story or essay for the Daytripper’s Writing Contest. All you need are 1000 perfectly chosen, artfully arranged words (that can’t be hard). Have at it.
Me? Well, I’m working my butt off, but there’s fly fishing ahead. In my last visit to the river, I forgot to mention seeing a pair of October Caddis, and as the weather continues to cool, more are surely headed our way (more caddis, more BWOs, more… the mouth waters).
(BTW — do those early hatching October Caddis rocket out of the water, look in vain for other bugs, then say “dammit, I’m going to be one lonely caddis” before flying off in a huff? We’re just wondering over here.)
See you on the river, Tom Chandler.
