Man: Can I get a fly rod and reel for my son?
Fishing Shop Owner: Sorry sir we don’t do trades.
Trout fishing isn’t just a sport. It’s also the name of a musical group!
Trout Fishing in America is two funny guys, Keith Grimwood and Ezra Idlet who write, play and sing funny folk inspired songs.
You’ll find their instrumentations all over, on Amazon, playing on the radio and in personal appearances they make across the nation.
You’ll hear songs with such interesting names as:
Alien in my Nose
Beans and Weenies
Day Care Blues
My Pants Fell Down
The Cat Came Back
Two Brains
From what seems like a never ending list of nothing but creativity!

This past year, Sierra Club sent 50,000 kids fishing.
The Sierra Club’s hunting and fishing program donated fishing rods to youth programs across the US. With the success of this program, the Sierra Club hopes to instill a lifelong love of fishing in the new generation.
I’d say the program was a huge success. Success spills over. These kids will grow up and take their friends fishing, and their families, all because of one little fishing program from the Sierra Club.
A Self Powered Fishing Cabin on Wheels?
Sound like a dream? Or a dream come true for the average backyard angler?
Wilcraft has come out with an amphibious mobile ice fishing cabin. It can carry up to 600 pounds of fish and has a top speed of 20 mph.
The best part? It floats. Saving you and your catch from thin ice.
Their motto: Coz Trucks Don’t Float
Lovin’ it!

Simple Simon Met a Pieman
Simple Simon met a pieman
Going to the fair;
Says Simple Simon to the pieman,
“Let me taste your ware.”
Says the pieman to Simple Simon,
“Show me first your penny.”
Says Simple Simon to the pieman,
“Indeed, I have not any.”
Simple Simon went a-fishing
For to catch a whale;
All the water he had got
Was in his mother’s pail.

BackyardAngler.com just learned that folks in Cal-i-forn-eye-aye are now getting to fish from the piers, for FREE!
Pier fishers get two poles, with three hooks each, or a single pole and a crab trap, or two crab traps. The piers are bustling with fishermen!
Some of the larger piers can hold up to a whole hundred people fishing. That’s a lot of lines being cast!
It’s a way for the average joe to save some money on his grocery bill. A day of fishing might bring in a weeks worth of protein, or more!
It’s a bird.
It’s a plane.
No, it’s a fish!
An Ohio woman recently was genuinely surprised when a whopper landed on her windshield.
It wasn’t raining fish.
An eagle dropped it’s lunch and it just happened to land, smack dab in the middle of her windshield.
She’ll need a new windshield.
The bird has to find another fish for lunch.
Update from Washington State:
As of August 15, 2009, fishermen will be able to utilize TWO fishing poles on most of Washington’s 8000 lakes.
An extra pole will add an extra $20, or $5 for seniors, to their annual recreational fishing license. Revenue from the new fee will go to fish hatcheries in the state.
There were a few lakes excluded, including Amber, Bear, Medical, and North Silver Lakes, as well as rivers, streams and saltwater. You can view a complete list at http://wdfw.wa.gov.licensing/twopole/.

Coral reefs, hundreds of feet tall, and thousands of years old reside off the coast of Jacksonville. It’s probably the largest area of undamaged deep-water corals in the world.
Plans are in place to protect these coral reefs from destruction from trawlers, and other destructive fishing methods.
Corals off the coast of Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas include Lophelia formations, an unknown coral called Thourella bipinnata and a species previously only found in the Carribean.
