Chicks dig it, and after all — nothing’s real in America until it has its own hat, which brownliners now have courtesy Singlebarbed.
It’s resistant to toxic waste, so a handful of sessions on the “river” won’t leave you with an eyeshade and a velcro strap.

Via the demented souls over at the GetOutdoors blog, we learn that those outdoor skills you quasi-mountain man types have been developing may finally get you hot babes.

We kid you not:
Playboy TV is looking for a Male, skilled to professional Camper that can teach 4 Playboy Models the fundamentals of camping. Pitching tents, collecting [...]

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) just issued its final EIS on the Klamath River dam relicensing.
And guess what? They say it’s still cheaper to remove the four Klamath dams than it is to keep them (these are the same dams that are beating the crap out of the Klamath Salmon runs and commercial [...]

We’ve all seen the numbers — participation in outdoor “blood” sports like hunting and fishing is declining, with hunting taking the biggest hit.
So how much crossover is there between hunters and fly fishers? I get the impression the two sports have polarized a bit, and that the number of crossovers used to be higher.
So [...]

It’s Friday, which means that when I head out around midday to catch the BWO hatch, you’ll still be in your cubicle “Working for The Man.”
Sure, it’s a pointless and degrading stereotype (although an honest to god paycheck would be nice), but why write your own blog if you can’t descend into pointless stereotypes?

Drippy weather’s forecast for the next four days, so with perfect fly fishing/BWO weather on the horizon, I’m putting our Stream Access battles behind me and looking for rising trout. Hell, it’s cheaper than therapy.

It’s late, so I’ll top this post off with more detail later. For now, I can hit the river without a little nagging voice in my head yelling at me to do something about this stupidity.
That’s because the news is good. Not perfect, but good.
No, the supervisors didn’t vote to do away with the whole [...]

Around midday, the Undergrounders sent their 100th e-mail to Siskiyou County’s supervisors, and with that, our work is largely done.

All that’s left is to hold our breath and wait for tomorrow’s vote on Siskiyou County’s Natural Resources Plan (2:30 pm), which threatens to declare all the county’s river’s non-navigable (and non-accessible to most fly [...]

Holiday fly fishing gifts typically peg the “dumb” meter — a fact exposed by Buster Wants to Fish blog in their hilarious post about fly fishing gifts.
