Even though congress can’t agree on a $700 billion Underground jackpot bailout bill, it’s nice to know the rest of the world isn’t standing still.

In fact, while congress wrangles, I was working my nimble writer fingers to the bone building a new visual theme for the Trout Underground.

Why abandon the look that’s taken me from humble fly fishing writer to groupie-mobbed online superstar?

Simple.

Space (it’s not just the final frontier for geeks).

Bigger. Better. Wider. (It's almost as if we're selling you a new car.)

Bigger. Better. Wider. (It's almost as if we're selling you a car.)

The old theme was a little crowded, and the pictures I posted were limited in size (that’s bad). The new theme gives me an extra 120 pixels in width. So yes, you’ll see bigger pictures, and perhaps longer stories. (And yes, a few more advertising opportunities too.)

Yet despite the width, I wanted something that still loaded relatively quickly. And yes, I wanted something with a little white space – something that had a little room to breathe.

Expect plenty more changes over the next month.

In the meantime, sit back. Relax. Send us $10s and $20s. And enjoy the view.
