A Bridge To FUBAR

A book I think I will have to get. Read the synopsis and see what you think. From MidCurrent.

I didn’t want to read to much of the synopsis to be a spoiler but it’s definitely going on the reading list.

Sorry, but I am assuming this was an April Fools joke. SF "4/1" team? Story posted on Monday, April 1, 2013? Dragon trout fishing in North Korea? I think not guys.
How do you tie the fly to your hooks without killing them with the thread? I keep cutting them in half.

Someone tell me that I am not that gullible........I wanted to believe that we were sneaking around behind that little adam henry's back.

Jim, you're not that gullible. Did that help? I hope so. :)

Hey, I did do a little more research on it. I found no mention of the book outside of a few flyfishing websites, all since Monday. Also, the caption under the photo at the lead of the story in that link says the trout were called "Jamjari", or dragons. A quick search showed the word jamjari refers to a Korean dragonfly, not a trout.

Trout and Salmon don't have barbells or posionous spines.
It's a hoax. Just imagine the stink raised if a real military team wrote a book about insertion into North Korea and then published details about the mission. If the book is real, then it's fiction, and might be fun reading it nonetheless.

That's funny! I had blown the whistle at the first lines and not read it far enough to see the barbels and poison spine bit. Ha! :LOLO:

Well, my excuse is that after I read the introductory sentence “we saw dark, massive trout hovering in the pool”, all logic went out the window. :)
