Backyard Tuna - Winner Sept. SOM!!!

 

All About the Fly's own Chris "Backyard, not Backdoor" Daniels hoists a sick Albacore off the Oregon coast and slips into a possible slab of the month lead. 

Update: Chris Daniels goes yard with this pig to take the Sept. purse.  Now, if he'll only send us his mailing address.  He's certainly no stranger to the northwest bugchucking community - so if any one knows this pimp let him know the Chum has a bit of love to send his way.

Salmon Try to Send Larry Craig Up the River

That’s right, salmon — you might know them as the harmless smoked fish Larry King puts on his bagels, when he is making bagels, but in real life Big Salmon has a stranglehold on our government and industry, preventing upstanding American companies from building big dams that power our baby monitors and puppy-grooming machines.

But with Larry resigning in disgrace for the “crime” of soliciting public sex with an undercover cop, these salmon may soon be free to infest the Snake River with their disgusting spawn. That’s why we all need to support Senator Craig in his latest campaign: the campaign to not actually resign.  Via: Wonkette LINK

Craig has now vowed to stay in the Senate until the end of his term. LINK

Steelhead trout grown in hatcheries lose their ability to produce offspring in the wild, raising concerns about whether captive breeding programs can help save endangered fish, a new study concludes. Scientists at Oregon State University found that even when hatcheries breed fish captured in the wild, their offspring become less and less successful at reproducing in the wild than their cousins that never left the river.  LINK
