I was stunned. She wasn’t really going to do it was she? I mean why? Why subject your self to the agony.
Some things just need to be seen to be believed.
Eat More Brook Trout guest blogger Liza Raley, in her position as a Classy 97 radio DJ here in Idaho Falls, attended the Idaho Falls Police presentation at the Idaho Falls Rotary Club today, where she volunteered to help the police demonstrate the effectiveness of the taser.
About 50,000 volts later, Liza could be hear muttering, “I’d rather be fishing Warm River with my Tenkara rod…”
It is a stunning performance that you just have to see to believe it. Jump over to Guest Blogger Gets Tazed for a Good Cause and see for yourself.
To paraphrase my hero, the immortal Doc Holliday, my vanity knows no bounds….
Cameron Mortensen runs some fun contests over on The Fiberglass Manifesto. Because I am the proud owner of a T.F.M tee shirt I slung an entry into the pile for last month’s T. F. M. Spotting Photo Contest.
I thought Cameron’s write up was kinda clever. What do you think?
Oh by the way did I mention the prize was an awesome Scott F2 fiberglass rod.
Yeah that is a Scott hat I am wearing. I love the Scott Fly Rod Company folks and their rods outstanding. When I don’t fish tenkara, I fish a Scott.
Well the votes were tallied and guess what?!?
Looks like I have a shot at getting that F2!
Hey Cam you asked “How is that kitchen remodel coming along?”
Check it out!
Guess the time on the remodeling job had a special reward!
The jesters over at Moldy Chum are goading Tom Rosenbauer in their blog, Thurston! be a good man and fetch my kilt.
Since I know Mr. R is a good sport in every sense of the word I thought I would give him some support and encouragement by showing some tartan solidarity.
And as soon as it warms up I am going to add a photo of the latest fashion in tenkara fishing… stay tuned!

MAHOGANY RIDGE – The fun folks at the Outdoor Blogger Network posed an interesting challenge. “So lets read about how you came up with your blog name.”
If you look at the list of blogs on the network there are some pretty interesting names for sure.
So here is my story of how Dispatches from the Middle River came to get its name.
My days as a Naval Reserve officer had something to do with it. My exposure to correspondents gave rise to a fantsy of becoming a ink-stained-wretch filing dispatches from some front line hot-spot. Didn’t happen but that is another story.
But the training and the itch to chronicle my adventures stuck. It sort of evolved (devolved) along a more Hunter S. Thompson path. Think The Rum Diary meets Trout Bum.
I saw my dateline as MAHOGANY RIDGE. Where is Mahogany Ridge you ask? It is your favorite new found dive bar or watering hole. I had a notebook of Dispatches from Mahogany Ridge. A chronicle of observation from behind a beer or a whiskey. Never saw the light of day…
When I moved to the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia and started writing an outdoor column for the News Virginian (Waynesboro) I realized I had some pretty good blog fodder. Since I lived on the Middle River the evolution was complete.
This has prompted me to now dateline my posts from the road (including this one) with MAHOGANY RIDGE from now on.
Brilliant. Just brilliant!
Hookers, Doctors and TSA agents have at least one thing in common.
