Going to wrap up the pics from the championships and get into some specifics in the gear used in the upcoming days.  Some will be about the companies, and backgrounds, but most will center around the gear itself, and more how to stuff.
That is Jim Martin from Brooklyn, Michigan fishing out of his Fish Trap […]

Original Post:

Fly fishing related gifts are fun to receive, but they come with a certain degree of danger.
After all, you could end up hitting the cold, wintry river with the fly rod you dropped seventy-odd hints about, but you might also end up looking for a place to store that gold-leafed “fly fisherman in […]

http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TroutUndergroundFlyFishBlog/~3/202467329/
Ever since Rogue River guide Dave Roberts and I ran into each other on the Upper Sac (both of us casting bamboo fly rods and wondering who that other idiot was), we’ve been fast friends.
He was Best Man at my wedding, his duties largely confined to quick-drawing a flask of Irish Whiskey at opportune […]

You don’t need more. What you do need is: Fish with frickin’ laser beams attached to their heads.

Fly tying season starts after the fishing season ends, but before the Prozac prescriptions for fly fishermen experiencing withdrawal are handed out like candy.

A Happy, Trouty Holidays From the Underground

Original Post:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TroutUndergroundFlyFishBlog/~3/206251413/
The L&T Nancy and I are hours from the nearest trout stream, but the Internet’s 24/7 from everywhere, so it’s no effort whatsoever to wish everyone a trouty (or carpy, or bassy, or whatever) Christmas.
