Since they were foolish enough to link to us – and the guy can write – we’ll give ‘em a plug: the Fishbeer blog.
They suggest they’re the “Greatest fly fishing, beer, and fancy writing blog you’ve ever seen” though I’m going to dispute the “beer” part.
After all, it was the Underground who led the way in protecting your First Amendment Beer-Drinking Rights.
Still, there’s something to be said for the writing part:
One thing Cow Creek Ranch could improve is the strength of their coffee. I’m sitting here now in Soma in Bloomington Indiana enjoying a tall glass of very fine, strong-brewed, real coffee. I’m going to drink two. Maybe three.
Scuff on the fuselage, lightening on the left, lightening on the right, my flight back from New Mexico was not great. I got to my new house around 2:00am last night. I still have to unpack from the move. Awesome.
But enough of the complaining. Just two days ago I was traipsing through high meadows on the Sangre de Cristo Mountains plunking down a bushy stimulator in every riffle, pocket and hole of Cow Creek looking for the five-slam. Above the black, swirling, deep pools of the manicured guest beats on the main fishery at the ranch, Cow Creek continues to climb into the mountains above 10,000′. There’s a trail that follows it all the way up.
See you on the Internet, Tom Chandler.
Fishbeer… I will like to try out. If is beer, it´s good for me.

Thanks for the props Underground. Right back at you.

yes, yes… fish beer, but what about the weed beer! wow. I must agree with Tom, and say legal weed beer was better than fishbeer (tho fishbeer did have “fancy writing”)

Beer, brewed with fish. Sounds like something I’d like. After all, it probably SmellsLikeFish.

@Eduardo: Words to live by.
@Matt: And here I was hoping to start a traffic-friendly flame war over the “greatest” thing.
@Gone: There’s room for both, and who knows – with the Legal Weed Shastafarian Porter being designated the Official Porter of the Trout Underground, maybe it is the fishbeer.
@Smellls: Beer-battered fish. See, that I know you like.

Beer-battered fish sounds like a social issue. I give generously to the local battered fish shelter.

Ladies and gentlemen (and Undergrounders), I give you today’s funniest, least PC comment (so far).

It pains me to admit this, but I really think Trout Underground has Fishbeer beat on writing. (There goes another hat size for you, Tom.)
However, the beer stuff? Chile Underground has you all beat. After all, beer is a FOOD, not merely a fishing fashion accessory.
And the Friday Follies on CU today continues to expand its groundbreaking reporting on this important FOOD group…

Hey, a rare bit of love for the Underground on his own site.
I’m going to print that passage, and because I’m feeling punchy and abused by words, I’ll probably thrust it under the nose of everyone I see today.
Chile, they’ll all probably thank you.

Fish beer, hmmn I will give most any brew a try.
