Welcome to Jack's Fly Fishing Blog!

Jack's main avocation - besides raising children and dealing with miscreant politicians - is fly fishing. His 1988 book, Fear of Fly Fishing, hit number five on the Seattle Times best seller list, and two other of his books have dealt with bass fishing (Fishing Bass Ackwards) and the utterly incomprehensible world of fly fishing equipment (Get The Net!). Jack is currently working on the sequel to Fear of Fly Fishing, which is entitled An Inconvenient Trout.

Jack will blog about fly fishing, in the hopes that we can share stories, lies, and generally keep our favorite spots to ourselves. Jack welcomes any comments you have about this sport/obsession. Stay tuned for updates about An Inconvenient Trout, and if you have a good story or anecdote, send it along! Maybe he'll borrow it for his new book.

Fabulous Merchandise For Your Purchasing Pleasure

In the next few weeks, watch this space for the entire Jack Ohman (me) line of vintage angler t-shirts. This shirts will be made of 100% material, will feature fly fishing themes not available on planets other than Earth, and will otherwise make you Cool, Hip, and Fashionable. There are no further guarantees, legal warranties, or disclaimers other than those previously stated. As soon as I figure out how to handle the massive volume of expected orders, I will offer them to you at a cost that is fair, reasonable, and makes me as wealthy as the average fly fishing thoracic surgeon or Yale grad.

Watch this space for news about an upcoming book that I hope will be the successor to An Inconvenient Trout (Pub date: Christmas 2008), about which I have filled pages and pages of a black Moleskine notebook with almost incomprehensible drivel, microscopic sketches, and various non sequiturs sure to amuse.

An Inconvenient Trout has been written, edited, drawn, and delivered to the tender mercies of Stackpole Publishing; I am quite certain this book will be the next Great American Fly Fishing humor book, on the order of the The Old Man and The Sea, if it were lightly amusing and had a lot of cartoons in it. Critics have called my forthcoming manuscript "highly finished," "obsessively drawn," and "mostly in grammatical English."
