Fish Hack at the Fish Wrap

HAIKU MONDAY: On Banned Broadcasts, Underachievement and Steelhead

Welcome back to Haiku Monday, where Fish Hack is wondering if his speech from the Fish Wrap to America's youth will get broadcast in schools Tuesday.

All I want to do is spread the joy of underachievement during steelhead season. That can't be too bad.

Work gets in the way
When steelhead come a-callin.'
Can't cast from office.

You remember Haiku Monday. It's when Fish Hack busts a few non-rhymes in Japanese poetry form for not other reason than it's a good gimmick. Three-line non-rhymers set in syllabic fashion just for a few yucks about the outdoors.

Labor Day is the end of summer for all but Fish Hack, whose job at the Fish Wrap is to bring the joy of fishing to all you dudes and dude-ettes stuck in your offices reading this-here missive.

Fish, then write about it.
Then fish for steelhead some more.
Gotta love this gig.

Videographer Jamie Lusch is joining Fish Hack on the Rogue River between Shady Cove and Dodge Bridge to film the latest segment on the Fish Wrap's online video series on floating and fishing the Rogue, our home water.

Got videos on how to run a raft, how to back-bounce roe for spring chinook salmon and even on the Hatchery Hole.

New ones get posted every Wednesday. Check it out at www.mailtribune.com/rogueriverguide.

Fish Hack gets face time.
This good face for radio
Might break YouTube site.
