Via the delightfully twisted “Taunted by Waters” blog comes notice of this cinematic masterpiece: The Fly Fishing Helicopter.
Outfit that baby with bamboo rotor blades, a scaled-down action figure of Theodore Gordon in the cockpit, and a hand-cranked, Gilligan’s Island-style radio control unit, and even purists would be lining up to give it a go.
See you in the wild blue, Tom Chandler.

This seems more the Underground style:

OK, time for a little if-you-think-that’s-cool…

Guess everyone will need to be more specific when they refer to their friend that just went helicopter fishing.

DOH! I see Michael and I are on the same page…

Far be it from the environmentally correct Underground to point out the huge difference in the carbon footprint between the two activities - much less the somewhat lessened chance of getting eaten by a shark in the farm pond.
Still, what are the chances the saltwater video is faked?

A good chance it is. But I’ll find someone who will donate offsets if I can have the video rights and some royalties on the “Underground Heli-Team” t-shirts.

“No, we didn’t go in; we admired this Butte Anaconda, MT bar from a distance.”
I bet that distance was measured in something less than a yard.
Otherwise, I’d say you lie like a rug. Through both teeth. Fishing guys, passing up a bar? Sheesh. Next you’ll be selling real estate…
