Original Post:

We first covered this in March, so I wasn’t totally surprised to find “collapse” headlines screaming at us from every newsfeed: The chinook salmon runs in the Sacramento River are the second lowest ever recorded, and the 90,000 adult fish are only one-tenth the all-time high (800,000 recorded five years ago).
From the LA […]

Tired of this on again, off again winter?  Go North and enjoy what ice fishing is all about.  Pack up the gear, throw a dart at a  map and get out of town while the getting is good.  It doesn’t have to be that off the wall, but there are many destinations around the […]

Happy Birthday, Monkey Wrenchers (And Ed Abbey)

It’s the birthday of none other than Edward Abbey, who wrote the The Monkey Wrench Gang — a groundbreaking novel about four people who sabotage development projects in the desert wilderness.
It was released in 1975 — about the same time I started high school — and the controversy it caused immediately made it an […]

Original Post:

When cabin fever takes hold in a big way and the sun starts shining for the first time in days, you’ve got two choices: you can fight it (and end up wearing an oval track in the carpet from pacing), or you can chuck a couple hours worth of work, saddle up the truck, […]

Original Post:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TroutUndergroundFlyFishBlog/~3/224683610/
There’s work to be done my friends, and this was a weekend for moving it from the "someday" pile to the "been there, done that" stack.
In truth, it was a good time for it; the storm settling over the mountain wasn’t cold and snowy as per forecasts. Instead, it was warm and wet, […]

Those of you who spend far too much time on this site may have noticed a new addition to the rightmost sidebar — a "Sweating the Small Stuff" box.

It’s home to all sorts of short posts that either don’t make the front page cut, or come along when I don’t have time to […]

The Underground Declares a Snow Day. And Yet Another Reason To Go Fly Fishing Instead of Skiing

Original Post:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TroutUndergroundFlyFishBlog/~3/222994188/
Six inches of snow yesterday, and two more since I cleared the back deck last night. Sadly, there’s a direct (inverse) relationship between the amount of snow we get and my chances of hitting the river in search of a BWO hatch.
Still, at Trout Underground/Man Cave World Headquarters, we’re making headway in the ongoing […]

Here’s a yearly event held at Jerry’s Pub on Wampler’s Lake in Brooklyn.  Its  fun event for all, and the price is easy to swallow at only a $10.00 entry fee to be paid prior to the start of fishing that day.  Below is the information that was sent to me, along with the […]
