How the puffer fish gets you high, zombifies you, and kills you 4 February 2012, 3:00 am
And make no mistake, people do die from fugu poisoning. About five people a year make puffer fish their last meal, and many more get violently sick from it.
It's not a pleasant way to go.

Proposed California Striped Bass Regs Shot Down 3 February 2012, 3:00 am
Striper Rise art by Mike Savlen
Remember those shitty new striped bass regulations California Fish and Game was proposing?
In a unanimous decision, Commissioners voted not to pursue a proposal that would have changed sport fishing regulations related to anadromous striped bass, including increasing bag limits and decreasing size limits.

Late Winter turns to daydreams………. 2 February 2012, 11:15 pm
I don’t know about you, but this time of year makes me antsy for warmer weather and getting out on the water.

Fly Fishermen, there’s one born every minute 2 February 2012, 10:02 pm

Congress can’t agree on trimming a nickel from the federal budget, nor can they bring themselves to address any meaningful social issues, certainly not in a timely manner – but they’re determined to blow hell out of the Internet.

Wherein we recant the “you can’t have none” taunt, and admit to most of the obvious shortcomings 26 January 2012, 9:06 pm
One of the horrors of being thoroughly enamored of a hobby is the fits of giddy that result when something attempted actually lives up to the original idea, versus flaming out midway through the development process. My ambition was to develop a dubbing that mimicked the superfine aquatic mammal fur we’ve reserved for dry flies, yet was cheap [...]...

We’re OK with the common perception that fly rods [...]...

I woke up, checked the forecast (only 1/10th of an inch of rain throughout the day) perfect! I threw on [...]...
