Leave it to Roughfish-Hugger Singlebarbed to put us on the trail of a unique opportunity to fly fish - and get paid for it.
Sure, you could become a guide and get paid, but everyone knows you’re not fly fishing when you’re guiding - you’re simply holding the hands of people who can’t fish, but have more money than you.
Besides, guiding’s a one-way ticket to an advanced degree in body piercing, courtesy clients who can’t cast.
No, my little Undergrounders - your path to professional status comes via the Pikeminnow Sport Reward Fishery , a power-company funded attempt to preserve Salmon and Steelhead in the Columbia and Snake rivers.
Sure, a few nattering nabobs will say that controlling predators across an entire ecosystem in an attempt to bolster a fading species is a one-way ticket to the environmental equivalent of the fiery abyss, but I’m pretty sure they’re just jealous eggheads who couldn’t catch a Pikeminnow i...

When you get a little behind on your posting, people assume you’re lollygagging in front of the television, stuffing handfuls of potato chips into your mouth and washing them down with pureed Twinkies and Diet Coke.
If only the truth were that pretty.
What is true is the Trout Underground’s World is turning upside down; we’re cramming all our worldly possessions into boxes, moving them, and then un-cramming them.
Yes, my friends. We bought a new house. [sfx: gasp of...

[Update: Way to go — it’s 1:45 and we’re past the 50 emails mark - halfway to 100. Come on you magnificent bastards!
Also, If you have a social bookmarking account like Digg or SumbleUpon, then click the “share this” link at the end of the post and extend the reach of this story across the Internet. Shock and awe, baby.]
I’m pissed. For the past week and half, I’ve been playing “nice” around the Siskiyou County Natural Resources ...

It wasn’t long ago that the Trinity’s Rivers Steelhead runs seemingly numbered in the hundreds — the result of debilitating water diversions (most of which headed south to Trout Underground whipping boys Westlands Irrigation District ).
After decades of legal wrangling by groups like the Friends of the Trinity and CalTrout , a little water got put back into the river, and viola — a steelhead fishery was reborn.
Now the fishing’s good enoug...
more Help Design the Gravel Guards on Patagonia’s New WadersFrom: feeds.feedburner.com

Except for the uncontrollable, homicidal rage that surfaces whenever my fly line snags in those damned-to-hell metal boot hooks, I don’t give gravel guards much thought.
How about you? Straq at Way Upstream (fly fishing product guy at Patagonia) is looking for feedback about gravel guards , which is either intelligent product development, or a cagey way to get us to do his job for him.
