 If so, you'd better wear protection while viewing Simon Graham's Baltic Pike Fly portfolio.

Moldy Chum, vernieuwend en ondeugend

We woke up one morning about 6 months ago and found out that The Netherlands had a bit of a Chum presence. Now, thanks to Jeroen Schoondergang, we're getting some love in a local magazine - De Roofvis. This issue hit the streets today.  Needless to say - we're honored!

English Translation:

The days that fly fishing was the exclusive pastime of dusty old gentlemen in tweed costumes, fishing very expensive trout and salmon streams, are long behind us. Websites like www.moldychum.com, who consider fly fishing to be more a lifestyle than a hobby,  are the proof that a younger, cooler audience is drawn to fly fishing. MC’s look at fly fishing is tantalizing and sometimes even cheeky, but always with a healthy dose of self-mockery.

The short articles, weblogs and podcasts on this website go beyond just fishing. They are also about ‘side-issues’ like nature and environment, art and even fly fishing pin-ups. The site is updated daily, so it certainly pays to bookmark it and take a regular visit.

Why would there be no more fish in 40 years?

We fully respect the topic and potential issue here, but this particular journalism is cavalier as phuck.

According to researchers, there will be no seaf­ood left to catch by 2048, except for jellyfish, which will thrive in the new, collapsed ecosystem. Luckily, they say th­at jellyfish have the same nutritional content as shrimp, which is pretty darn good.
