Happy Father’s Day From the Underground

June 19, 2011, by Tom Chandler 2 comments

It’s Father’s Day at the Underground, and the fact that I want a nap more than any other gift probably marks me as the real father (of a real active 2.5 year old).

When my dad was alive, Father’s Day meant something different than it does today, and I’m saddened by the fact the old Father’s Day never overlapped with the current incarnation.

My dad would have loved it.

Life is like fly fishing in that you take the good bits from the past with you into the future, which is why I took a quick peek at the river flow gages.

And despite the should-be runoff conditions, the Sac is running below 2300 cfs and the McCloud—unbelievably– is staying below 400 cfs.

My nearby little streams are still unfishable, but I’m hearing rumors of big green bugs and an early afternoon hatch at a trout river near you (well, me), and figure that moseying around a river for a couple hours should be restful, and if the bugs don’t show, then maybe I’ll get that nap after all.

Happy Father’s Day from the Trout Underground.

What Are You Planning For Father’s Day? How About Fly Fishing?

May 21, 2008, by Tom Chandler 10 comments

In what amounts to a blatant commercial plug for a friend, I’m passing along an idea for a Father’s Day fly fishing getaway: why not rent a comfortable little house in Dunsmuir, enjoy the restaurants, and fish your damned brains out?

The house is comfy and yes — he’s even got a special Father’s Day Deal.

And look for more posts in this vein; we’re going to take a look at some of the places to stay, play and eat around the Upper Sacramento River (with an emphasis on funky and friendly).

See you on the river, Tom Chandler.
