As Steazy as you wanna be

We're long time fans of Ryan Peterson's The Big Pull here at the Chum.  And, his daily chirp on the Ponoi River does nothing to diminish his stock with us for sure - must read ramblings here.

There Are Such Days 

A poem by Ed Laine

My fly is trapped in branches high and dense,

just ripped my brand new waders on a fence.

Chilled water is already rushing in,

that big brown trout, I swear, just flashed a grin.

Read the rest in the May/June issue of Far and Away. LINK

The Fly Fisher - A Horror Movie Script

Script shadow reviews the latest scripts in Hollywood.

The Fly Fisher is like the unofficial non-sci-fi sequel to Donnie Darko. It's a story about a seriously fucked up Fly Fisherman who lures his victims in, does God knows what to them in his stream-side abode, then guts them like a fish.  LINK

You can dowmload the script here.

A Glass Fly Rod Gift

An e-mail from our friend Sam Snyder to Cameron at The Fiberglass Manifesto about a special rod built for him by his cousin Ben Casarez is well worth the read. Sam is currently on his way to his new home in Alaska with a three week pit stop to fish his home waters of the Conejos.

Fucking With Snobby Bastards

 

Bruce McGee takes on elitist fly fishing buggers.

I can just picture two distinguished gentleman sitting around a fine home somewhere. Nigel and Ian would be there names and I can just hear Nigel saying you feel that Ian? Feel what my good man? Ian replied I sense a disturbance in the force like some grubby nutter is fondling a poor unsuspecting fly rod. That conversation probably took place the day I decided to start fly fishing. Because while I respect its tradition and honor it’s past, I have no issue with making it something uniquely mine. That means screaming a giant fuck you at yuppie buggers who seem to think that the sport is still only for the elite of this world. That you must be of a certain class to dare cast a finely made fly rod. While that sentiment isn’t common among all fly fishermen, it’s present in enough of them to piss me off. So being me I make it my mission to fuck with people like that.
