Fanny Krieger (of Mel & Fannie Fame) Launches DVD Aimed at Kid Fly Fishers

In what may be the only non-Tiger Woods related article on the Internet, the Underground can’t help but notice that kids are fly fishing’s hottest properties right now.

That may be because the Underground’s suddenly very familiar with the needs of tiny, diaper-clad tax write-offs, and besides – when you receive an email from Fanny Krieger, you tend to notice.

Fannie’s the wife of the much-loved-and-sadly-departed Mel Krieger, and she’s launching a new DVD project called “Tomorrow’s Fly Fishers.” Because we’re currently suckers for kid stuff (and who doesn’t love Fannie), we’re embedding the video’s trailer.

It includes notables like Fanny herself, Rachel Andras, Tim Rajeff, Lori-Ann Murphy and yes – the Krieger grandchildren (a family gig then).

It’s about as far from today’s “extreme” fish porn videos as you can get, though we leave it to our readers to decide the suitably of showing your own kid graphic footage of children nymphing. Just warning you is all.

Those with an interest can buy the goodies at Fannie’s Web site.

Olive the Wooly Bugger

If you’re on the kid track, don’t forget to take a look at the Olive the Wooly Bugger books, which feature one of the world’s most-beloved streamer patterns romping through adventure after adventure, though we’re distressed that dry flies are portrayed as being shallow and elitest in one of the books – a charge we vehemently deny.

We missed this one some time ago, but wanted to give them a mention.

See you in the diaper aisle, Tom Chandler.
