That fast-moving bastard Singlebarbed beat me to this one, so I’m going to cut his gruel allowance by half.
Still, the story’s worth reporting; Fish & Game published the results of the lake-wide poisoning of Lake Davis (another attempt to remove the Northern Pike). From Singlebarbed:
Results of the poisoning were also published, 50,000 pounds of dead […]

The Trout Underground’s readers aren’t the only folks saddled blessed enough to sunbathe in the blinding light of my singular brilliance.
See, I also write a blog for copywriters (The Copywriter Underground, natch), which — for the second year in a row — has been picked as one of the Top 10 blogs for Writers.
 Yes, all […]

From the Orange County Register:
It was a race against time for the rainbow trout in Orange County’s Harding Canyon, but biologists say they lost the race: a mudslide buried the last members of an isolated population before they could be collected and moved.
The trout possessed the capacity to turn into protected southern steelhead – if […]

The sparks and the rhetoric flew when the American Fly Fishing Trade Association (AFFTA) announced it was getting into the fly fishing consumer trade show business — by competing head-to-head with an already-established Denver consumer show.

James Beasley is acquiring a national reputation for his wonderful bamboo fly rods built from the heart of Tennessee. (Originally written for the apparently defunct Art of Angling Magazine [who didn’t return my slides], this is Part One in a two-part series)

And to think us C&R fly fishing mokes are out there for the experience of fly fishing. What rubes.
This guy from China doesn’t even fly fish (thereby forgoing the expense of $700 fly rods) and he scored better than $400. You and me — we got it all wrong. All wrong. From Fishupdate.com

Fly fishing the Upper Sacramento River in winter can mean fishless days — but it can also mean big rainbow trout.

Hell, I didn’t even know a Tiger Trout — a sterile Brown Trout/Brookie hybrid — existed. It’s quite rare in the wild, but face it — half its genes hail from The Official Char of the Trout Underground, so it’s worth a  little education.
Even better, it looks like nothing you’ve seen before. The Fish Geek […]

Found via those industrious types at MidCurrent, the San Diego Union is reporting that Alpers Owens River Ranch is being sold, and that fly fishers will no longer have access to this pay fishery once the sale is final.
For those not familiar with the California fly fishing scene, the Owens River Ranch was a famous […]

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 […]

I stumbled across Gale Rainwater’s photography blog and Web site (actually, he stumbled across us), and I flipped over the work.
While it’s not fly fishing specific, it speaks to one of the things most of us fly fish for — the stunning, unspeakably beautiful outdoors.
It’s proof that craftsmanship still exists in the digital world. […]

 
Thanks to Alex at the iconoclastic Daytripper blog — who’s running a “Stuff That Sucks” series (in opposition to his own “Stuff You Need” posts) — we found ourselves face to face with an Anti-Spring Ridge Club Web site that Underground Tackling Dummy Donny Beaver probably doesn’t love. From their “About” page:
This site is […]
