Welcome aboard, Derek. Stick with it, and you'll gain more and more confidence with your casting and catching.

Really nice craftsmanship.

Such a neat video. I remember watching this video for the first time several years ago, and instantly wanting to give Rush creek a shot. I had two very frustrating days, where I could tell there were plenty of fish around, but they all had lock-jaw. It's a really interesting place. I would love to s...

Glad your son and his family are okay, Bob.

I drove through that area Tuesday morning around 8:30 on my way to Mammoth. I didn't notice too much in the way of smoke, but I've never seen such an accumulation of emergency/fire vehicles in one place. Just north of Manzanar, there were about 2 dozen vehicles from various agencies parked on the we...

Saw those videos on another site awhile back, and I still had to watch each of them a couple more times here. Pretty amazing stuff!

That's a winner right there!

I don't typically hike in more than 45 minutes to reach my fishing destinations, but if it's going to be more than 10-15 minutes, then I'm hiking in regular boots and lightweight pants and packing in my wading boots and waders (if I'm going to use them). I've found a lot of times, I just wet wade wi...

Love it, PT. Such a great adventure. Thanks for sharing it with all of us.

What a terrible/sad story. I'm so sorry for Chris and hope he has a speedy and complete recovery. I'm thankful the perp didn't have a weapon to cause more harm.

You're right, Creek, you just never know with people these days. So sad/infuriating.

On this day of counting our blessings and taking stock of all we are thankful for, I'd like to take a moment to express my gratitude for everyone here that makes this forum such a great community to be a part of. Thank you to Craig for starting the forum, and for the guys who stepped in to take over...

I wholeheartedly agree! I love this post and this kind of adventure.

Fun trip to read about. I love how you're returning with your son to places you visited with your dad. Such a cool family dynamic.

Very cool report. That's a nice bean! Thanks for sharing it. Some of those old lures could be collectible, so I would hesitate to fish the ones in better condition......well, that is unless you want to to honor your papa's legacy by doing what he would like to do himself. Would also be cool to pass...

I haven’t seen a recent trip report in a long while, so even though this one doesn’t contain a lot of fish, I thought I’d share it anyways… About 6 or 7 weeks ago, my grandfather turned 90 years old, and we had a big family birthday to celebrate. There were over 35 extended family members there, and...
