RBF Pro STaff: Chief's Wild Mushroom Farm

Chief's Wild Mushroom Farm

Since the Chief installed a geothermal heating system, he needed something to do with the vast quantities of firewood produced on his property. He decided to start wild mushroom farming, growing oyster, shiitake, hen of the woods and sulphur mushrooms. This season, enough logs were plugged to produce over 500 pounds of wild mushrooms over 5 years. The farm will be greatly expanded next season.

November rains and cooler weather provoked the shiitake plugged logs to produce another crop

The QUOTABLE FISHERMAN

I once tried breeding chickens to obtain an olive dun hackle. While in the feed store buying mash for my flock, I engaged in conversation with a rather annoying woman. I suspected she was a flatlander. She began asking question after question about how I was raising these rather ungodly birds. You see, some were bright green in color. Then came the most annoying question of all. “How many times a year do you skin those chickens?” I calmly replied, “Just once, ma’am; any more than that they get meaner than hell.”

The RBF Pro Staff

The RBF Pro Staff is an elite cast of fly fishing characters with unique and varied talents. The RBF Pro Staff was assembled by RatherBFishin aka Chief during the Big Woods Summit of 2006 along the banks of the First Fork of the Sinnamahoning after witnessing or otherwise learning of various ungodly fishing accomplishments.

The RBF Pro Staff became famous for its ungodly posts on a forum hosted by a local fly shop.

Members of the RBF Pro Staff can catch fish in a sewer. The RBF Pro Staff enjoys both food and drink.

We open doors for women. That applies to all women, regardless of looks. There are no ugly women, some are just prettier than others.

We love our country and respect others.
