AEG Media are the shooting stars of the emerging "alternative" fly fishing video market, and their latest effort follows them across Mongolia in search of Taimen.
AEG’s first two DVDs generated truckloads of buzz, they market hard, they’ve fired up a film tour, and they’ve even persuaded a few fly fishing manufacturers to break open their […]

Like any taxpayer, the Underground is happy to see his hard-earned tax dollars being put to their best possible use, and at this point, I’ve gotta say I’m not that happy.

I learned (via the Sacramento Bee) that the Weed-based Mt. Shasta Brewery is in trouble with the Feds because his bottle cap contains the words […]

As we’ve pointed out in the past, Nestle Waters of North America uses it inexhaustible supply of lawyers to bully, intimidate, and just plain wear out their opponents (usually small towns). If one lawyer gets beat, they shove another $2000 suit into the breach.
That’s why it’s heartening to hear the Protect Our Waters Coalition (CalTrout, […]

A San Jose man died after he and two companions were thrown from their drift boat and into the Sacramento River after they hit the North Street Bridge in Anderson Monday afternoon.
Construction workers building the new North Street Bridge spotted the three men and were able to […]

Ever since the Upper Sacramento River opened to year-round fly fishing, Opening Day hasn’t carried the import it used to.
Don’t get me wrong; I love fishing this river in the fall and winter, but opening day has largely became something that happens to other people’s home waters.

This year, things feel different. The Upper […]

OK gang, The Underground’s Sizable Corporate Staff made it past the always-hectic Monday, but that’s small comfort given that it was 31 degrees this morning and yes — it was snowing.
Frankly, here at the Underground we’re pretty damned tired of the damned cold and the damned snow and the damned clouds and the damned […]
