First go to the local hardware or Lowe’s, Menards or some such type place and buy a pair extension ladder hooks.  Another good place to find them is Harbor Freight.  Should be less than $6 for the pair.  Pick […]

The cabin style like this CLAM 5600 offers the most comfort for those […]

Nature Vision, who has several fish finding and ice fishing products, has developed a new product that can help. It’s called the Weed’Ez. The Weed’Ez is an artificial aquatic plant that an ice fisherman can drop through the […]

Original Post:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TroutUndergroundFlyFishBlog/~3/192199724/
Sometimes, the futurists here at the Trout Underground think the word “tradition” is just an ugly way of hiding the fact that fly fishing’s being left behind by the rest of the sporting world.
After all, skiers can now hide their effete, non-manly liquor in the grips of their ski poles. Why the hell hasn’t […]

Thought I might as well get this going today while I had time, and the coffee was still kicking in!
Power Augers,  God Bless the Tecumseh engine!  Even though there are 4-stroke models available these days, that 2 hp Tecumseh has been around for years and just keeps on going.  You will find them on […]

Something major, something small, there are ways to make your coop your own, and make the fishing just a tad more functional.
Everything  I have to my Pro has been relatively small.  I added a cup holder that is available at any marine dealer in the area.  Not everyone will be able to do this, […]

After the sunset

Original Post:

River flows gently, almost silently, under a bridge. Fish from the bridge as there is no sign to deny it. Although never really searched for it.
Have the feeling that nothing will be caught. The certainty. Don’t fight it, not this time.

Original Post:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TroutUndergroundFlyFishBlog/~3/190994702/
The Holidays aren’t known for their fishing friendly nature, and with guests showing up and the Trout Underground World Headquarters still not fully unpacked, this Thanksgiving wasn’t an exception.

It’s tempting to roll […]

Just think of the lives that could be saved. We are.
Found via The Goat blog, this baby’s monster, uhh… flotation devices […]
