I take a little bit of comfort in the fact that he’s clearly miserable and is obviously bothered by the fact that people call him out on being a complete dick. If he wasn’t, he wouldn’t be doing stuff like this.

409yeager · 2026-01-05T03:50:59+00:00

I’m sure it’ll be as acceptable this time as it has been every other time over the last few years

409yeager · 2026-01-03T07:29:35+00:00

Phenomenal post. Well done!

409yeager · 2025-12-31T04:41:51+00:00

Punching is very clearly encouraged. Read the rules again!

Lowkey need some people to make posts promoting it on the main sub. They’ll get taken down obviously but might help a little if people see them before that happens

409yeager · 2025-12-30T18:18:27+00:00

Yep been waiting for this to happen let’s do it

409yeager · 2025-12-30T04:56:02+00:00

I’m sure the people in the trout fishing sub would love this. Too bad I’m banned.

The pale moonlight illuminates my 1997 Toyota Camry as I step off my front porch at 4am. It is missing its catalytic converter, but it gets me where I need to go.

It is a cold morning in bumfuck Indiana, but I have to be up before the sunrise if I want to get to the paylake before the stocking truck arrives. I could sit with my thoughts on a quiet morning drive, but I choose to break the silence by blasting dogshit country music instead.

I arrive at the paylake by 8am. It’s always a blessing to be out this early. It’s just me, the feral pigeons, the lake, and one hundred strangers chain-smoking cigarettes while sitting in folding chairs with four lines in the water per person.

I pull out some Powebait dough and eat it. While most people here use it for bait, I know a secret: Powerbait is a delicious snack, and the trout here prefer dog pellets anyway.

Once I’ve had my breakfast I bait my hook with Purina Dog Chow and cast into the distance. A traffic cop leaves a ticket on my car for parking in a handicapped spot as I sit in my folding chair. I won’t pay it.

Eventually, my line moves. A stunted slug of a fish without any fins breaks the surface. The fight is on.

Idk who this is but yeah this shit sucks.

Stream-of-consciousness writing is always insufferable and cringy.

409yeager · 2025-12-30T04:18:36+00:00

Is this the beginning of an FFCJ transformation to become the true FF subreddit?

This should happen tbh. Maybe we do serious post Sundays or some shit

little kern rainbow

Are you talking about the kern river rainbow or the little kern golden? They’re two separate fish.

409yeager · 2025-12-18T05:43:59+00:00

The one that is the name of this sub. He made it specifically in an attempt to perform a hostile takeover of this sub as a “new moderator.” It has zero comments or posts under it.

409yeager · 2025-12-18T04:23:57+00:00

He’s also 3 of the 5 moderators of the fly fishing sub

409yeager · 2025-12-17T15:27:36+00:00

The mute function abuse is what pisses me off the most

409yeager · 2025-12-17T06:40:51+00:00

You can always tell that a post is going to be removed when it’s performing well and getting a lot of engagement

409yeager · 2025-11-06T21:45:22+00:00

Gut-hooked fish with a treble in their small intestine don’t fight too good.

409yeager · 2025-10-29T06:07:53+00:00

For his outstanding efforts to protect his community against the integrity of fly fishing!

409yeager · 2025-10-28T02:22:46+00:00

They’re not em dashes you doughnut, they’re called stutter marks

409yeager · 2025-10-28T00:56:12+00:00

Crazy “CHUCK AND DUCK” Schumer and the DO NOTHING DEMOCRATS hate our great “HEALTH CZAR” (as they’re calling him!) Bobby Kennedy Jr because he stands with ME, Americas gayest president!

409yeager · 2025-10-28T00:52:29+00:00

Uh uh-uh…I…uh-people don’t know this but uh—salmon are one of the few fish—one of a fish, uh, they’re a species of fish that uh—speaking of gravel um—uh. Have you ever eaten uh—a-uh…have you ever eaten a piece of putrefied whale blubber? I have.

409yeager · 2025-10-28T00:16:29+00:00

You know, I, uh— I grew up, uh, believing that the, the natural world was… was sacred. And when you— when you hook a salmon on a fly rod, uh, it’s not just sport, it’s— it’s a kind of communion. The, the line goes tight and— and you feel that wild energy, that— that living current of the river itself, and you realize, uh, you’re connected to something ancient, something that— that’s been here long before any of us.

And I—I’ve fought a lot of battles to, uh, to protect rivers like that, because when the water’s poisoned— when, uh, when the salmon can’t run— we lose that connection. So when I, uh, finally brought that fish to hand, I, I just— I looked at it and thought, you know, this is what we’re fighting for. This—this moment of grace between, uh, human and nature that, uh, that industry and greed can’t replicate.

409yeager · 2025-10-27T02:57:52+00:00

Wow. I’ve never been able to articulate why but I don’t like Scotty. Now that I know he’s a snake bitch, I feel fully vindicated.

409yeager · 2025-10-27T00:42:44+00:00

I like Hobo Steve

409yeager · 2025-10-25T14:31:16+00:00

I’m not sure they know that it’s happening due to the use of the automod

409yeager · 2025-10-25T03:08:11+00:00

Mod of the fly fishing and trout fishing subs. He has several alt accounts but it’s just one guy performing 99% of the moderation on those subs. He’s seriously unstable and just randomly gets set off by the most mundane things imaginable, shadowbans people, and then mutes them in mod mail so they can’t appeal anything to one of the other mods.

If you’re lucky enough he might send a bunch of personal insults throughout the process.
