Pete & Tom

NEW LOOKS, FINE OL' SITES

of gear whores and crystal balls
.. Pete over at FISHING JONES has revamped the blog again. Apparently not receiving the support he anticipated from his ISP. It's been just about a year since we noticed the other change in format.
.. As blogs come and go, (and sometimes come again,) Fishing Jones has provided a constant source of entertainment and information. We wish Pete better luck with his new ISP. If you'd like to see some fine photos -- check his Flickr Photostream.

.. Tom over at the TROUT UNDERGROUND has taken the time to pen a note about his gear whore policy and glance into his crystal ball about the future of fly fishing media.
.. From the early days to the present this blog has also been a source of insight and delight. The transformation to commercial blog has not dampened the wit or wisdom.
"I don’t know about you, but 50 degree water has a chilling affect on the ego and a relaxing affect on the mind."
.. Tom sees the 'plain ol' blog' as a dead end and views the future of blogs as traffic magnets for larger entities. Guess we'll have to fold our tent.
.. We, prompted by his post, take this opportunity to announce our very own gear whore / advertising policy:
1} send lots of money, you will not be acknowledged,
2} send lots of gear, we'll keep it and you will not be acknowledged,
3} send lots of requests for ad space, you'll join our spam file,
4} send requests for link exchanges, you got it figured out by now?
.. As we fade into oblivion we leave you with this sage insight:
"The world is shifting beneath our feet - and some days it feels like it’s spinning faster than it did ten years ago - and like everyone, I’m trying to make sense of it."
.. As Tom would say: "See you in the welfare line."
