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 […]

From Trout

Among the strongest colors of the brown trout is yellow. The sight of yellow bellied trout is enough to raise you from the depths of oblivion. It fills you with awe, and again you are able to see the beauty of life as it was meant to be seen.

Brave, brave SingleBarbed. Putting his household iron (and domestic bliss) on the line, he posts yet another in his growing line of fly tying experiments with a shiny, heat-fusible material (angelina).
The results are interesting, at least in as much as he ties some interesting flies with the stuff, though frankly, we would have been […]

It’s only a three minute trailer from Felt Soul Media, but it nicely sums up the looming battle over the huge Bristol Bay salmon fisheries — what could become one of the pivotal environmental battles of our times.

The Fly Line Wars Rage: The Underground Begins a Pair of Tests

Original Post:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TroutUndergroundFlyFishBlog/~3/161656630/
Fly lines used to be simple stuff (it was “this one” or “that one”), but trying to pick a fly line nowadays is akin to playing chess blindfolded; the possibilities are largely endless, and it’s damned easy to get confused.

We start testing Rio and Scientific Anglers fly lines.

Maybe it’s the drought, but we think the Fly Fishing In Yellowstone blog has gone over the edge. Witness this picture posted on his site:

We don’t have much to say, though we would like to point out he goes on to make sport of the Trout Underground:

Ok, the perch trip got put off today due to weather,  so I have read and sent my mail, surfed the forums and weeded out my offlines.  Had the pups out twice, changed one paw print t-shirt and gave them their treats.  Have some calls to make later,  and got back on the computer […]

It’s hard getting traction for salmon recovery; they’re slimy fish after all — not baby harp seals. Still, we may have stumbled on the secret: Hip Hop Salmon.

Turning Paperwork into Trout: The Underground Escapes the Office

Original Post:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TroutUndergroundFlyFishBlog/~3/161115454/
I’ll skip the whining about work trapping me in the office and get right to the good stuff: I got the hell out of dodge and went fly fishing.
Of course, you never know what’s waiting for you on the river, though the more open you are to the things you see every day — […]
