It’s not exactly the kind of job I planned for the last day of 2008 (a fly fishing trip leaps to mind), but warm & happy is its own reward (not the least of which is a much reduced utility bill).

Fortunately, I stumbled across the Perfect New Year’s Gift for all the Undergrounders who simply haven’t been catching as many fish as they’d like:

Sure, those other fancy-pants fly fishing blogs delve into innovative fly patterns, insect behavior and a host of other “elitist” topics (even that Singlebarbed brownliner guy is getting a little uppity with us), but at the Underground, we’re All About Effective Solutions to Vexing Fly Fishing Problems.

Combined with our hard-hitting reportage, fly fishing blog leadership on critical economic topics, and regular doses of frankly brilliant ideas, it’s not hard to see why we’re widely considered the Albert Einstein of fly fishing blogs (we are, aren’t we?).

I hope everyone had a wonderful 2008, and wish each and every one of you (except you snots at Nestle) a prosperous, bountiful, and seriously cool 2009 (don’t drink too much).

Happy New Year!
