  • Underground Book Review: The Alaska Chronicles by Miles Nolte (Two Fins Up)
    It’s embarassing to realize an enthusiastic quote of mine adorns the back cover of the The Alaska Chronicles (by Departure Publishing), yet I never actually published my reivew here on the Underground. Old age claims all of us, it seems, but at least I retain enough brainpower (barely) to fix the omission. The Alaska Chronicles [...]

  • Fly Fishing Biggest Time Waster of Outdoor Sports? (McManus Thinks So?)
    I’ve often said that everything I own carries a maintenance cost with it – a tax you basically pay just for owning something (in time, attention or money). It’s why I want to whittle down my bamboo fly rod collection – and why at one point in my life I realized I needed to enact [...]

Industry introduces new “Bubba” lines of camo fly fishing gear; Orvis launches [...]

  • The Top Five ?Perfect? Ideas For Growing Fly Fishing Among Urban Dwellers
    In honor of the upcoming IFTD show (which AFFTA features in its now-daily emails), the Underground has again taken it upon itself to single-handedly offer its can’t-miss ideas for growing fly fishing among hip, urban populations. (Believe me, these will outperform any combination of free casting clinics.) Behold, Undergrounders, and be prepared to weep as [...]

  • Lake Tahoe, Upper Truckee Trout Populations Doomed by? Golf Course??
    Stunning “Viewpoint” piece about Tahoe’s frail trout population – and how California plans to give the lake’s sole remaining spawning habitat away for use as… a golf course?? Does the state need another golf course this badly? Derby Dam blocked the Truckee River and killed the huge run of trout that had, for thousands of [...]

  • Adventure Is Where (And How) You Find It (or, A Year In The Life of a Fly Fishing Dad)
    The turning points in our lives are marked by moments we may or may not have seen coming, but cannot miss. Some are big noisy affairs, some are quiet moments, yet they’re so deeply ingrained in our heads we can’t forget them. Which is why on Sunday – when I found myself sitting on an [...]

    It’s hard to imagine anything better. Really hard. Welcome Undergrounders, to what is about to become fly fishing’s dominant food: Deep Fried Beer. (And not just any beer – it’s Guinness.)

  • Fly Fishing?s Revolutionary Products? There Haven?t Been Many? (an Underground Game)
    AFFTA is now sending me daily emails reminding me their IFTD trade show draws nigh, which suggests it’s time for the Undergrounders to engage in a little marketer-busting fun. I call it: “Revolutionary, or Just A Bunch Of Hot Air?” The premise is simple; marketers are fond of describing their latest/greatest/fastest/lightest product as Revolutionary. Yet [...]
