The Quickest Way to a Man’s Heart Is… Through His Head?

November 29, 2007, by Tom Chandler 6 comments

Alert Underground Reader and Mega-Babe MK represents something of an enigma to the Trout Underground’s Online Matchmaking Division.

After all, she’s a rep for loads of killer outdoor products, a monster kayaker and a total outdoor babe. Given the largely masochistic, “beat me whip me” nature of most fly fishers, her paddling skills alone should provoke a stampede of panting, slightly hunched fly fishers to her door.

Not only has she displayed excellent literary taste by posting on the Underground, but she even sent the extremely big-brained types here some fly fishing winter caps:

hats
These will keep us warm while we fish the largely vacant Upper Sacramento — making them one of the rare fly fishing gifts capable of performing a useful service.

So — and given her single, babe-alicious status — the riddle is this: What the Hell is Wrong With All You Upper Midwestern Fly Fishers?

Naturally, abject speculation by the rest of the Undergrounders is encouraged.
