As we’ve pointed out in the past, Nestle Waters of North America uses it inexhaustible supply of lawyers to bully, intimidate, and just plain wear out their opponents (usually small towns). If one lawyer gets beat, they shove another $2000 suit into the breach.
That’s why it’s heartening to hear the Protect Our Waters Coalition […]

Ever since the Upper Sacramento River opened to year-round fly fishing, Opening Day hasn’t carried the import it used to.
Don’t get me wrong; I love fishing this river in the fall and winter, but opening day has largely became something that happens to other people’s home waters.

This year, things feel different. The […]

Two inches already, and it’s still swirling around like a well-shaken snow globe.
Gotta love spring, Undergrounders. You gotta.

Tuesday Morning’s Fly Fishing Related Stupidities

Original Post:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TroutUndergroundFlyFishBlog/~3/275525814/
OK gang, The Underground’s Sizable Corporate Staff made it past the always-hectic Monday, but that’s small comfort given that it was 31 degrees this morning and yes — it was snowing.

The spoon harness,  you might ask what is this and you wouldn’t be the only one in the room doing so.  I first learned of the rig for catching walleye two years ago while spending some time on Saginaw Bay.  Depending on which version you see, the components will vary, either way you can […]
