Chum Couture

Our pals over at Moldy Chum are peddling a fishy new tee shirt design promoting the bonking of hatchery fish for the benefit of wild Steel. Half the proceeds go the Wild Steelhead Coalition. Get yours before the Hipsters buy them out.

Fresh Chum

One of the founding fathers of the flyfishing pajamahideen, Moldy Chum, makes all things old, new again. We raise our glass.

Shake Up At AEG Media

B2 and Rathbun (the Woodward and Bernstine of the fly fishing industry) over at Moldy Chum got the scoop on a big shake up among the Trout Fish Bums over at AEG Media on the Eve of the Fly Fishing Film Tour. Follow this link for more info.

DIY Chum Boat

At Svensons.com you can find an excellent archive of free boat plans from magazines such as "Science & Mechanics" and "Boat Builder Handbook". They have some great designs with even better names such as the Chum (pictured here), the Playboy, and the Sea Babe. In addition to being functional the photos and plans have great art quality.

Anyone care to build one of these Three Piece Boats and review it for us? We think it just might be the perfect remedy for that fishing buddy that you can only stand for so long. If you get fed up towards the end of the trip you can simply detach him and set him adrift.

B2 - May his tribe increase...

Fly Fishing celebrity blogger and Patagonia guy, Brian Bennett made a major announcement this past week. Follow this link to Moldy Chum to check it out for yourself.

Brian,

Here in Carolina's the wife let out major ooh's and ahhhs and a hearty, "She's so cute!!" and I must say that I agree. You and the Missus did some good work!

Chum gives us our first cover

Our hectic travel schedule (Virginia, Tennesee, Florida, and Florida yet again) almost made us miss our first magazine cover, courtesy of our pal B2 over at Moldy Chum. Good for you -they passed on the speedo pic we submitted.

Green Monster Sighted in Carolinas

We are hating life in our uptown Charlotte offices these days as our chums from Moldy Chum jet off to Alaska's Kenai Peninsula to throw mice at rainbow trout the size of their legs. Not that we are bitter though, we do have a view of the cemetery from our office window and microsoft excel is way more fun that fishing....NOT!
