What do you do with 100 million carp?

Apparently you turn them into mink food.

In Depth - America's Best Urban Fishing Spots

Forbes jumps on the urban fishing bandwagon.

And like New York, most of these urban spots, despite their proximity to millions of people, remain underfished. You are more likely to get elbowed off some famous trout stream in the Rockies than you are within sight of skyscrapers. Just be prepared for the incoming airplanes.

Greetings from Jurassic Lake

El Paskador reports from way south of the border.

Hey Brian,

Jeff was struggling a bit one day, so I busted out my extra "Reel
Pure" hat for him. Took just one cast to change his luck from bad to
really bad.. Just wanted to share the exciting news, and feel free to
pass this along to the Chum Nation. Perhaps you could charge a bit
extra for the hats now. I know I'll be giving them to my BEST fishing
companions from now on.

El Paskador

Dearest Brian,

Shortly after the "Rock" incident a local Shaman passed by and for 13
pesos and 7 1/2 beers we got him to Bless the hat. Within minutes of
him finishing his last beer (It seems Shamans' prefer Shot-gunning
them) the hat became almost magical. Fish On, and on and on and
on!!! And did I mention this was Jurassic Lake? And did I mention
this rainbow was about average in size? Did I mention we landed a few
around 20? You'd hate it........

Yeah I hate it alright...

Fly Fish Iceland

Due to the weakened Icelandic currency, fishing packages to the country turned failed hedge fund are being reduced up to 25%. Still prohibitively expensive for most, you can still get a taste of what the island has to offer by viewing one of the ten videos on the Fly Fish Iceland site. The Grimsa's Water Clarity clip is worth a watch.

Some other "Trout Bums" made an Iceland movie complete with Bjork style soundtrack.
