The L&T Nancy and I are hours from the nearest trout stream, but the Internet’s 24/7 from everywhere, so it’s no effort whatsoever to wish everyone a trouty (or carpy, or bassy, or whatever) Christmas.

At the Underground, we embrace diversity (hell, we’re even willing to kiss it on the lips), so no matter what species you fish for, we think you should do so over the Holidays.

As for me, I’m reduced to fishing for an elevated cholesterol count until we get back home later this week, but then, it’s cold where we live, so piling on the calories is actually a good thing, right?

How else will I repel the cold, rain and freezing waters of winter fly fishing?

See, I knew you were on my side.

So Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, or Just Party Til You Drop — whatever it takes.

We’ll back soon. I appreciate the fact that the Undergrounders invest your precious time here, providing the hilarious/illuminating/perceptive running commentary that makes the Underground such an interesting place to hang.

See you at the great big pile of wrapping paper, Tom Chandler.
