Good luck out there! Enjoy trout mecca but beware of locals as they can be, as I have been told by Coloradans, worse than surfers here regarding "their" waters. Might want to carry an extra spare tire if you know what I mean and remove your CA plates.

Have fun folks. Wish I could go but have been swamped lately.

This story makes me hate California more and more. Seriously what kind of punishment is not being able to obtain a fishing license (something they probably never bought before anyways), paying a total of $410 in fines (chump change all things considered) and 30 days of "hard labor" (whatev...

Of course it's a joke. It's a play on the old joke of telling your buddy you do not have to out run the bear, just out run him. I'm an idiot. I misread it. I thought it said she shot the bear in the knee cap. That's what happens when you quickly skim a post and not pay attention to the details. :do...

This is a story of self-control and marksmanship with an itsy bitsy shooter by a woman against a fierce predator. What is the smallest caliber you trust to protect yourself? The Beretta Jetfire: While out hiking in Alberta Canada with my husband we were surprised by a huge grizzly bear charging at ...

Nerf gun is considered an assault weapon in CA and considering that thing is made in China it definitely doesn't shoot nontox. Don't use it.

Didn't read the article but yes I use a filter. I bought a streipen when they first came out as pumping water is a hassle. I went back to a pump when I realized that the UV lights may kill the bad stuff it doesn't filter sediments nor does it make the water taste better like a pump.

I used to keep all my local trout spots "secret" and never told a soul. Now I've changed somewhat as I realize my secret spots aren't too secret. But I do limit it to people I trust and are known fly fishers that practice C&R. So the likelihood is when I return I'll be seeing those fis...

I believe member azwanderings sells them, you may want to pm him perhaps he can give you a few pointers.

They've kept Bob. He's still in there and comes and goes as he pleases. The girls only worked a couple days a week and they are now gone. It seems to me the place has more energy now and the boys seem to be smiling more than I remembered in the past few years. I'm glad the shop will stay around, I k...

And its all yours for $1400. Sounds like a deal to me.

You're throwing it from a kayak? That's crazy.

Nice fish.

For all you guys who spent big bucks on fly rods, you could have saved your money...
