In my humble opinion - This is perhaps one of the most important threads this forum will ever see. We have this beautiful sport where the more artful and creative aspects such as delicate dry fly fishing can include tippets, wait, how about: MUST include tippets that just might be all too easily bro...

River King - yeah, I see people still fishing now and then off of the pier. Didn't know about the shop. Since all the usual attractions are closed, it stays quiet around here. Gary - Thanks!

Really cool footage. What are you flying? We've flown a couple of toy drones, crashed the heck out of them. I was nervous flying them 25 feet up. I am considering a DJI Mini 2, but I have a hard time thinking about "letting go" of the thing and flying it anywhere near its capabilities. I ...

Not much after I made this post than did I go for a walk out onto the S. Monica pier and spot a corbina in the shallows ... See: https://www.instagram.com/p/CImASO4BjDb/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link.

Nice drone's eye view. I would enjoy more views from the tops of the canyon walls since I will never get there. Any fish? Ants As a novice pilot, I get real nervous when the drone is out of my range of vision. It's mind-boggling how far these things will go. So, to answer your question, tops of can...

Just heard that this amazing aviator passed away. Many years ago I had a very brief dialog with him via email. Just jabbering about trout.... I have a huge fascination for aviation and the heroics of aviators; military or otherwise. Chuck was also an avid angler and legend has it that he'd take adva...

After hiking and fishing all summer+fall it was hard to find the self-discipline to experiment with the drone versus fish. Don't we have too many gadgets as it is!? Anyway, a few days ago the fishing on one of my fave waters was horrible so it seemed like a perfect time to practice some Sierra Footh...

Every now and then a book or an article pops up that many So Cal anglers can truly appreciate. I truly feel that Al Q's "Corbina Diaries" is such a gem. I mean, heck, it is written by a So Cal angler. The last time I had so much fun geeking out on a fly fishing book was when I ordered a su...

This looks GREAT and all the more tempting since I am in Texas from time to time. Fly fishing as medicine for the soul is here to stay. Thank you for sharing.

Sweet!

Thanks for the comments. Hate me because my blog entry is such a tiny taste of what's roughly 200 photos and videos. Being a low water year, the angling was actually not as good as I'd like to think but I also needed the test; to see if I was still fit. It's brutal especially when you add the off tr...

Into Bear Butt Canyon :) Despite not feeling up to it physically, being concerned about air quality conditions, road conditions (open or not due to fires) and getting permits all dictated that I, my wife and guide David Gregory out of Yosemite Outfitters race to hit some remote water in Yosemite Nat...

SWEET!

Thanks so far. I'll pass on the sunshade-jihadist version and will continue exploring options (including the suggestions made so far. I will circle back with what I do eventually use.

I am curious if anyone who does overnighters also carries/uses a solar charger (for phone, GoPro etc.). Seems like a good idea given that some that I have researched are lighter than carrying a charger pack. All said, being disconnected fro one's device(s) is most certainly a great part of the great...
