One good thing about slumming at The Fish Wrap is getting paid to watch baseball in the Sports Department, bidding on Paris Hilton’s jail jumpsuit on e-Bay and cruising the wire for the funkiest story du jour. Today that comes from Georgia, where a big black bear fatally found out a camper and his beer [...]
It took The Fish Hack a full week to insult enough bass-catching, George Strait-lovin’, NASCAR-watching Virginians for the local bass club finally to escort me to the Mason-Dixon line and send this Yankee back to Ory-gone. But getting back to The Fish Wrap in Medford proves much tougher and longer than serving the jail time the [...]
ROANOKE, VA. — The Fish Hack is still slummin’ it here in Virginia, which the locals say is for lovers but we really know it’s the louvre. Hanging with 600 of North America’s best outdoors writers all camouflage-clothed and ready to go here, along with myself. Hacks abound, all taking a week off from their [...]
Donor Day is upon us, and that always encourages The Fish Hack to wax-on, wax-off about Dear Ol’ Dad. So much of what The Fish Hack is all about — including why I squat in The Fish Wrap — has more to do with The Donor than anyone. Maybe even me. But it’s soooooooo unlike [...]
CHICAGO — The Fish Hack’s in the air, heading to the Outdoor Writers Association meeting in Virginia and life just got down-right arthropod on me.

The Fish Hack again has taken my own personal stink out of The Fish Wrap and gone out-of-state to spread the cheers and jeers that make you keep coming back for more. This week I infect the poor people of Roanoke, VA., where the annual Fish Hack confab is this year. The official name is [...]
Welcome back to Haiku Monday, which asks the age-old question: If The Fish Hack writes a blog that no one reads, does it still stink up the cyber version of The Fish Wrap? Of course it does. Anything hacked here puts a little stink to scratch in The Wrap. That’s why you’re here, right? The [...]
Welcome back to The Fish Hack at The Fish Wrap, where we ask the imponderable…Just which fish would The Fish Hack hack if The Fish Hack could hack fish? Fish Hack is heading out for a couple days away from The Fish Wrap. Some real Non-R&R. No readin’ or ‘ritin’ for this-here Hack on vacation. [...]
Welcome back to Haiku Monday, where The Fish Hack looks for readers to put a little stink of their own into this-here Fish Wrap. That’s because the Fish Hack is busy trying to get the stink out of the boat by catching the first springer of this lousy season…and it ain’t working. The run is [...]
The Fish Hack looks East and goobers onto the expertise of one Monte Burke to tell the tale of why Saturday means so much to Fish Heads just about anywhere except in Salmon Nation of the Pacific Northwest. Burke is a fellow Hack, at Forbes Magazine of all places. Forbes is no cage-liner, and not [...]
