This blog has been banned (and tears of joy well up in my eyes)!

I kicked and screamed, but the Fly Fisher Girls would not give this blog their Fly Fisher Boy Blogs “over 18″ designation. Nope…only those Fat Guys and Roughdude were honored with that. I wept. But even in a world of such gross injustice every dog has their day. Today the Kid Rock of the North, [...]

Introducing The Landeen Photography blog

I thought I was dreaming so I pinched myself. Alex Landeen, professional photographer and Fat Guy Fly Fisherman extraordinaire has started a new blog about the fine art of recording radiation on sensitive mediums, and telling the story in literary form too: I didn’t know this man, and he didn’t know me but as I [...]

This morning’s sweet irony in the fly fishing blogosphere

Nonetheless, I’ll tell you: I found it on Topix.net under the subject “Spyware.” How the heck did that leak through? More spammy sites [...]

See Blog Phish, phish blog phish

Watch those blogs. ZDNet reported that new blogs are popping up that contain malicious code like keystroke logging trojans. According to the report, many of these blogs are on legitmate hosted sites (I assume the free ones). As a platform for blogging is just a few clicks away, and with thousands of new blogs being [...]
