We Add Another Blog to the Underground Writer’s Network: Welcome to The Daytripper
By Tom Chandler on Dec 7, 2007 in Fishing Blogs
I’d love to say I had a crystal clear vision for this nascent fly fishing blog network I’m piecing together, but suffice it to say that someday, somehow, I’d love to be in the business of helping good writers build something useful.
With that in mind, joining the Trout Underground and Singlebarbed on the Underground Writer’s Network is the Daytripper blog.
It’s written by Alex C. — a fly fisher of strongly held opinions and significant energy. In addition to his multitude of posts about his fishing trips (of which there have been many), he touches heavily on a lot of fly fishing topics, and is even in the process of building a fly pattern database (home to many streamers, a branch of fly fishing I find oh-so interesting).
We welcome him into the fold (though we didn’t tell him about the “new-blog hazing ritual” where he ties the existing members of the network a couple dozen flies).
What’s clear about Alex is he’s a fly fisher, and he’s got it bad. Hell, he’s even posted a counter on his site which broadcasts the number of flies he’s tied so far this winter. Scheez.
We understand. And welcome to the neighborhood, Daytripper. Give him a visit, and leave a slaw dog on the front porch for him.
See you all on the river, Tom Chandler.

I have been reading some of the daytripper stuff lately. I have to say that you do have some VERY strong opinions and although I think some of the criticism is harsh I do have to say that I am a BIG fan of your HONESTY. I truely mean that! I can’t say I would have said the same things as ballsy about Lefty and AEG that you did, but I do know that you are not alone in your opinions. By HONESTY I mean how you posted the negative responses to your blog comments. That takes guts dude. For the bit of honesty I’ll read the blog from time to time.

I should add to the honesty comment. I like the honest non sugar coated opinion. It’s nice to see that for a change.

Thanks slowMo,
Who would have thought honesty was so hard to come by?
