Early Monday noodling

It's early, I'm working, and I'm getting a head start on a sore throat and head congestion (which suggests something unhealthy heading my way prior to my Tennessee trip), but I can't leave the Underground's Alert Readers wholly bereft of their morning fix. Drink fully my friends - of the rich, tasty ...

With the last snow finally melting out of the Trout Underground's backyard and no monster storms forecast for the coming week, we can hope that spring has officially arrived on the Upper Sac.

Annoyingly alert reader Sully pointed out that just a few days ago the Upper Sac ran 7x it's normal historic flow, and wondered if the big storm promised for this weekend wouldn't push it past the 10x mark.

The Trout Underground in the 21st Century

It's time to enter the 21st century with some up-to-date software that limits how pretty I can make the site, but handles most of the content management work for me.

Plus, my readers can now leave comments behind! This is the real reason for the switch. Feel free!...

That great big ball of fire

Looking up in the sky reveals something rarely seen lately at Trout Underground World Headquarters - the sun. Apparently the turtle who carries the fiery ball across the sky has returned after a couple months partying in Cabo, though he's due to start another vacation this weekend....
