Fly Fish Chick Back From the Bahamas; Armed With a Cool Photo Montage »

Sure, we’re insanely jealous of all the fish-rich international travel Fly Fish Chick’s been up to, but that doesn’t mean we’d pass on a killer video montage from her Bahamas bonefish trip, complete with music. (click on image below to go to her site and view the video)

It’s very cool, and yes, I’m doing […]

The Taxman Cometh: Who’s Spending Their Stimulus Money on Toys? »

It’s Tax Day, and the fact that California’s general fishing season doesn’t open until after your taxes are paid says a lot about this state’s priorities, which The Underground’s Crack Political Staff suggests are all screwed up.
After all, if it’s one thing you need in your hand after you’ve penned that check to your personal […]

Phillipson Fly Rods for $25? I’ll Take Two Dozen »

Sully – Alert Underground Reader in Charge of Gear Taunting — sent along a Phillipson ad from what I’d guess was the late 60s or very early 70s (it looks like 3M might have already bought the company).
The Internet is awash in irritating boomers who say they "miss the 70s." Suddenly, I do too.

Learn to Row and Survive Whitewater (Attend Guide School on the Upper Sacramento) »

Personal watercraft and shiny new drift boats dot fly fishing’s landscape, though at times those steering the things look a little out of control.
That’s why — in a blatant free plug for a local business — I’m flogging a whitewater guide training school on the Upper Sacramento River May 3-5. 

It’s run by River […]

The Biggest Casualty of Global Warming? Beer. »

Would you still be driving your 2 mpg Hummer and crushing the environment under the weight of your enormous carbon footprint if you knew you were personally causing the extinction of beer?
We didn’t think so. From Grist:
Malting barley will likely be harder to grow in a warming world, especially in Australia, says climate scientist […]

Solar Power Parasol: You Can Fish in the Shade and Take Calls on Your iPhone »

The Underground’s crack team of online slackers investigators have uncovered stunning proof that technology actually will make the world a better place (someday): It’s the Solar Power Generating Parasol.

See, this baby utilizes thin film solar technology, so you could use it to both shade yourself and deliver power to the gadgets you’re supposed to […]

Today’s Underground Exercise in Weirdness: The Chopstick Canoe? »

Canoes are lovely craft (witness our love affair with the Grand Lake Canoe), and at the Underground, we’re all about supporting craftsmen, but that doesn’t mean we don’t occasionally scratch our heads when we read about something like this:
A canoe built entirely from disposable chopsticks (via The Goat blog)

Hell, we’d laugh, but the 13′4", 66 […]

It’s Damsels & Dragons (Fly Fishing Lakes) on Internet Radio »

Sure, Damsels & Dragons sounds like one of those role-playing games your little brother’s creepy friends came over and played all night long while you were in high school, but here we’re talking about the bugs.
Ask About Fly Fishing — an Internet Radio site — is broadcasting an interview with Rich Pilatzke, who’s spent the […]

The Underground’s Tuesday Wrapup Post »

The Wednesday forecast suggests a 90% chance of rain and snow, and it comes at a time when I’ve already seen all the snow I want to see.
In fact, I’ve seen way more snow than that, especially since I shipped a time-sapping project and finally have time to get out on the river.
With the Upper […]

It’s Outdoor Survival Week at the Underground »

I seem to be going through a "pulp" survival phase, so in the interest of "anything worth doing is worth overdoing" — I’m steering you towards Survival Topics: an interesting site jammed with outdoor survival tips.
Found via the always-interesting Two-Heel Drive, the Survival Topics Web site includes handy information like how to make your own […]

Is The Fastest Thing in the Ocean a Bacteria? »

Are saltwater fly fishermen overlooking the ocean’s fastest swimmers? If they’re not fishing for bacteria, they probably are…

The Funniest Four Minutes Of Your Day »

No, this isn’t a fly fishing video.
Yes — especially in light of Saturday’s "pulp outdoors journalism" post — it’s a hilarious reminder that "pulp" outdoors journalism is alive and well (if refined a little) at the broadcast level.
Yes, it’s one of the best outdoor video spoofs I’ve seen.
And definitely, it may be the funniest […]
