Our Latest Fly Fishing Apocalypse Post (or, Where Are You Going Fly Fishing *Before* Saturday @ 6PM)

By Tom Chandler 5/11/2011

Those planning to go fly fishing this Sunday will be interested to learn the world is apparently going to end on Saturday (6pm PST).

(ed: oops, my bad -- apparently it ends on May 21, which gives you an extra week before eternal damnation)
So where are you going fishing?

I mean, seriously.

Sure, the nutcase who predicted this End of Times also predicted it would occur in 1994, so his track record isn't exactly spotless.

But let's just assume the second time's the charm. After all, even Donald Trump needed a couple of tries to become a complete douchebag.

So you're fishing Saturday, and you've got Friday off for travel (if needed).

Where do you go -- within a reasonable day's travel -- to fly fish before the cracks open up and the Cloven Hooved Deceiver himself steps out of the ground? (When he does, he'll be holding a Nestle product and singing that damned "Friday" song.)

For The Loved Ones Left Behind

Following in the footsteps of the wiley-but-going-to-hell entrepreneur who created a post-rapture pet care service, I'm announcing the Underground's 'Left Behind But Not Forgotten' Bamboo Fly Rod Storage Service.

After you've ascended -- but your soulless fly rods haven't -- you'll feel better knowing an experienced caretaker is watching over your delicate bamboo fly rod collection.

Just ship them to me (before Saturday, obviously), and I'll see they recline in an airconditioned atmosphere while 153 days of unspeakable horror ravage the rest of the planet.

See you in hell, Tom Chandler.

Great thinking! I'm sure they wouldn't mind one bit if you did that. And remember, you only get one phone call, so let us know how it went...

Given what's supposed to happen (fire, brimstone, plague, smoke, heat, etc...) I wonder if people living in Houston will even notice?

Hey that's great news (but embarrassing)! Though now I feel kinda stupid after putting all those online porn charges on my credit card, thinking it was OK because it was due next week...

Tom, You have all the time in the world. The rapture isn't until May 21st. You have another week before hot death smotes all unbelievers (whomever that may be).

Seriously, the very fact you even knew that "Friday" song was there for the viewing is a sure sign of the Apocalypse. The Devil would sing that.

Tom, Have you ever written about the correlation between guides and whores? Seriously. I fished for steelhead off and on for over 8 years. Hooked a few, landed a couple 2 pounders, but never the "real thing." So I hired a guide to take me out on the Trinity to pop my anadromous cherry. No cigars, no drinks and I even left a nice tip. Even the memory sort of makes you feel a little dirty.

"Does anyone know a hooker who fly fishes?" Ah! Another "fly fisherman" who fishes with nymphs! The underworld is owned by those who are down and dirty.

Rough year for New Zealand. First the Christchurch earthquake and now they are going to experience the apocalypse a day ahead of the rest of us.

I'm really busy until 2 pm but I'm working at a place that's directly on a river so I suppose I can get a few hours of fishing in before all hell breaks loose. I'm gonna keep my rods for now, but I'll let ya know.
