I’d love to fill this post with a hard-hitting, Hemingway-esque fishing story, but in truth, Sunday’s plans for a Brookie trip fell hard to an intestinal virus whose effect I am not going to describe here.
And no, the disease isn’t connected to the slaw dogs consumed Saturday night at the Trout Underground/Man Cave World Headquarters by a handful of locals. They are above suspicion.
Sadly, even the innocent suffered the effects of the bug; Wally the Wonderdog was denied a tongue-hanging-out-happy hike to a brookie lake - a highlight in his tortured, lay-around-on-the-porch life.
Wonderdog ennui: Wally deals with the disappointment.
Still, even as a sicko, the Underground continues to forge ahead on the work front, and relatively soon (a week, hopefully), the Underground will (hopefully) be fishing more and explaining less.

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...

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...

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.
Sure, Bennet says Straq’s a total slacker, but we’ll give Straq the benefit o...
