Don’t adjust your set – that really is an article on Brownlining in the October, 2008 issue of California Fly Fisher written by none other than Singlebarbed – the Underground’s less bathed Brownlining Twin.
There’s no online link, so if you want to see how Singlebarbed looks in print (a little grayer, actually), you’ll have to buy the magazine.
Brownlining becoming mainstream? When it starts showing up in destination mags, you gotta think so.
See you trying to become all hip and brownliney trendy, Tom Chandler.




























How do us non-Cali pukes got a hold of that them there rag? Or would it simultaneously combust in the hands of us brownlining heathens?

First, glamping. Then the Sage “Bluegill†fly rod. Now brownlining verges on mainstream? What’s next? Busch Beer-swilling fly fishermen hauling butt around coffee-tinted sloughs in 250-horsepower Mercury Optimax-powered Nitro Z9s?
Guess it’s ‘bout time to head to Bishop with everyone else…after all, by now Tom’s posted SmellsLikeFish and Wally the Wonderdog to guard the gates of Dunsmuir.

At best the Wonderdog would be described as a porous defense. I’m liable to slip through as he rolls over for the obligatory belly rub.

Pretty cool, Keith! No offense Tom, but he’s gotta be the best writer out there doing the FF blog thing. How he does what he does on a daily basis just ain’t right.

Jean-Paul: Here’s their Web site, which isn’t really up to date. Maybe you can order a single copy: http://www.calflyfisher.com/
Patrick: What’s next? Why I’m writing the brochure now for the Underground’s upcoming “Glamping while Fly Fishing Illegally Privatized Public Water From a Bass Boat for Red Horse Suckers While Guzzling Bottled Water” lodge. It’s a sure-fire winner.
kbarton: The Wonderdog’s a killer; ask anyone who didn’t get their hands in front of their, ahem, delicate bits before he jumped up for a face lick…
Alex: Gee, thanks Alex.

What is your bidding, my Master? (breathing sound amplified by plastic mask)
Alex: Mighty kind words, but undeserved.

Master? That’s pretty much creeping me out.
BTW — did you happen to read the “50% clause” in the in the network contract I sent you? Just wondering…
