All the rage, going local and simplifying your life. Turning away from consumption and living within your means. The evolving brownlining, fish local, fish it all approach does expand the world of options.
“Trout and steelhead are fun, but I want to cast big, nasty, furry flies and have some fish straight of the Pleistocene epoch chase it down like a starving coyote after a limping field mouse.” (more thoughts)

here in the middle of nowhere brownlining is just called fishing.
the nearest wild trout is a day’s drive in any direction.
the advantage is i’ve gone months never having seen another flyfisher on local waters. my wild spastic casting technique seems to keep the common rabble at bay.
i’ve caught 4 and 5 foot gar on pieces of clothesline, 4 pound largemouth on #12 tarchers, 8 pound carp on #16 grhe’s and i hope nobody else figures it out.
