Howdy all.

Lifetime fisherman, roughly 10 yr fly fisherman.

I'm a regular up at the Kern, and have hit up Hot Creek, the Owens, and some Norcal waters a handful of times. Also been getting more and more into surf fishing since it's right down the road. Landed my first Bean on the fly last season.

Always looking for new waters and not opposed to a new fishing buddy here and there.

Tight (or at least well-mended) lines all!

PS. Anyone been up to the San Gabriel lately? It's next on my list, but I don't want to hit it up until the water flows are at least slightly normalized and the fish are de-stressed.

Thanks.

Welcome to the forum. Looking forward to seeing your posts out and about. Right now, the San Gabes are in pretty dire shape. Not much relief this year, (again) with rain to replenish the creeks. Maybe next year.

Sadly, the san bernardinos are in pretty much the same shape.
