Don't let your pooch eat raw fish.
Salmon Poisoning Disease isn’t exclusively caused by the ingestion of raw salmon as the name might suggest. The condition can be caused by a dog consuming raw salmon, trout, steelhead, and other freshwater fish.
Cases of this disease are caused by the ingestion of fish caught in the Pacific Northwest (Washington, Oregon and California).
Salmon Poisoning Disease is VERY serious and can be fatal! If left untreated 90% of dogs who show symptoms will not survive.

Dear Clooney,
With all this attention being paid to canine fly fishing companions, what's your opinion of the Lab?
I find Labs to be intelligent, articulate and most have a fantastic sense of humor. Look at that K9 fly fish guru Trask over at The Drake. However, occasionally you'll come across one that's just a few cards short of a full deck.

Everyone knows labs are lousy drivers!

After five hours of continuous casts into the Delger River without so much as a nibble, the dog was both absurdly stiff and unbearably heavy, the twin effects of rigor mortis and being waterlogged. LINK
We love throwing bugs. But we also love our pooches (possibly even more). So, when Ass Hooked Whitey posted this link we HAD to jump on board. Thanks AHW and Tom at the Drake for reminding us that there is more to life than getting skunked.

Did I hear someone say dog biscuit?
Regular visitor Paul Adams had a memorable day on the lake when, fishing with floating dog biscuit he landed more than 50 carp into double figures. LINK

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Clooney would kick my ass if I served him non-alcoholic beer. LINK
