It’s a poorly kept industry secret that the Underground is leaving Friday AM for a week in Montana, and I’d like to take this opportunity to point out that Glacier Glove – ever alert for a chance to have fly fishing’s most-beloved blogger wear their gear in public – is express shipping me a new fly fishing pack for testing.

It’s designed to carry a fishermen’s gear into the backcountry in what amounts to an organized fashion, though the real test will revolve around my inability to comprehend an organized pack (some things are just unnatural).

Expect much hilarity to ensue.

Also, I feel compelled to point out that the rest of the fly fishing industry has apparently failed to recognize the serious Golden PR Bonanza Potential of my trip, illustrating a startling lack of gullibility savvy.

(Must I point out that gear shipped to [Name Redacted's] place in Missoula via overnight express can still be tested?)

What’s finally becomes clear is this: I can’t singlehandedly save fly fishing (despite trying), especially if fly fishing’s foremost gear manufacturers simply won’t save themselves.

See you in the gear whore aisle, Tom Chandler.
