Haiku Monday — On Drunks and Dogs and Trout

Welcome back to Haiku Monday. It’s how The Fish Hack opens the week at The Fish Wrap — take an ancient poetic medium and finds ways to make it stink. The Fish Hack’s columns in The Fish Wrap and this heretofore beautiful form of Japanese poetry have a bit in common, of course. Mainly, both [...]

Easy Mac Is Ridin’ Nerdy in the Anti-Rig

The Fish Hack has an experience to share, and it might not be one for impressionable eyes. But needs to be shared as an example of why all rigs are 4-wheel-drive, but not all 4-wheel-drives are rigs. I’m rolling out of The Fish Wrap in my 17-year-old 4Runner that is 200-large on miles. Along comes [...]

PFMC — Feel Free to Take Her on a Salmon Puker for Mother’s Day

We might not have libraries here anymore, but you Salmon Trolls are prepped for one storied salmon-fishing season in the oceans off the Southern Oregon and northern California coasts. Federal Fish Heads at the Pacific Fishery Management Council today adopted the most liberal season possible for recreational chinook and coho fishing in the ocean here [...]

Fish Hack’s bustin’ rhymes on Haiku Monday

The Fish Hack is always looking to add a little class to The Fish Wrap, and often the best way to do that is to stay away. But not today. The Hack is really feeling it. Still alive with Ohio State in the NCAA gamble-fest, looking to add a couple Benjamins to the wallet. So [...]
