It’s yet another fly fishing scoop from the Trout Underground: A scientist thinks there’s a whole ocean waiting to be fly fished in the inner Earth.

 

A seismologist at Washington University in St. Louis has made the first 3-D model of seismic wave damping — diminishing — deep in the Earth’s mantle and has revealed the existence of an underground water reservoir at least the volume of the Arctic Ocean. It is the first evidence for water existing in the Earth’s deep mantle.

Amazingly, there’s still no word of the hatches on this new body of water. Drakes? BWOs? No word??

What was this supposed “man of science” studying?

I expect the leading fly fishing travel agents – who have already worn out Mongolia and Russia as “hip” destinations – are already scrambling to charter seats for wealthy anglers.

I can see the poster: “Journey to the Center of the Earth – Where Nobody’s Ever Fished Before” (we expect a Hard Rock Cafe to open in the summer).

Naturally, the Army Corp of Engineers is already studying ways they can build a dam on this waterway.

As always, the Trout Underground will keep you posted.
