A few months ago I noticed that several fly fishing bloggers were including striking photos of striking women (in striking outfits) holding fish, and dubbed it the “Bikini Wars.”

bikini 3Months later, the war continues to rage among certain bloggers, who apparently can read and have noticed exceptionally high traffic rates when the wars rage on their site.

Naturally, the Trout Underground rose above the fray (especially when Moldy Chum apparently won the fight with their star-spangled salute to bonefish), occupying the moral high ground and operating on a much higher plane of existence, but the provocation continued.

We expect such juvenile antics from those traffic-hungry smut peddlers at Moldy Chum and GetOutdoors, but even A Step Apart got in on the action (so to speak), stealing a few minutes from her exhaustive survey of Yellowstone Geology to strike a blow for gender equality in the bikini wars.

It’s my solemn vow that we will stay the course, occupying the bikini high ground and refusing to exploit fishing females, who – juding by the thousands of photographs I inspected to get a handle on this issue – are nothing more than dedicated sportspersons who want only to be left in peace to pursue their fish in a topless fashion.

Once again, the Underground has shown itself to be the moral compass of the fly fishing blogosphere, a cultural beacon burning so brightly that lesser bloggers dare not stare into its blazing white light of purity for long, risking blindness if they do.
