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 […]

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 […]

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.

Let’s face it — you’ve already got so many fly rods that deciding which to take on your next trip already consumes most of the day.

Just to give you a couple of ideas of what it looked like while the guys waited to weigh in there fish.  This pic shows the number of vehicles out on the ice where the participants took their buckets and […]

Fly tying season starts after the fishing season ends, but before the Prozac prescriptions for fly fishermen experiencing withdrawal are handed out like candy.
Like any psychotic disorder, fly tying tends to encourage obsessive behavior, and while we’d never suggest that the bloggers named below necessarily fall into that category, we would also caution you […]

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.
At the Underground, we embrace diversity (hell, we’re even willing to kiss it on the lips), so no matter what […]

Learn about fly fishing from an 8 year old author named Tyler Befus of Colorado. Tyler landed his first trout on a fly rod at the ripe old age of 3, so at 8 he is quite the veteran. Whether you ever go fly fishing or not, you’ll enjoy the book. It is just […]

That’s where I was at last weekend, fishing in my second event in three years.  The […]
