In addition to fishing gear (already mentioned), I always carry water filtration (Sawyer mini is great!), and "minimalist" survival kit including some method to start a fire, LED light, whistle, and...

I've been away from the board from some time, so I apologize for the tardiness here... Scott and I did a backpack trip together last fall, and it's one I'll never forget. He was ALWAYS enthusiastic,...

I never measured, but this was from the EC late last year:

7676

There are some good fishies in there. It was a lucky day.

Beautiful Ken! Loved not only the gorgeous waters, but also seeing those furled flies in the box :-) I also saw what appeared to be an Adams with a spun body. Cool idea. Thanks for sharing, it's a...

Scott,

All I can say is a huge CONGRATS! That is one mighty fine specimen!

And to add to chemdoc,

...open to fishing below the confluence of Tamarack Creek downstream to the confluence of Snodgrass Creek. And BTW the regs aren't super clear, but no fishing on tributaries...

Adam, some great advice here. I have two certs myself and can't really add too much. I will say that DFG puts on some great CHT clinics. I went to the one for the Goose Lake and Warner Lakes redband...

You're good to go. State regs:

(4.5) American River, North Fork, Middle Fork, South Fork and their tributaries above Folsom Lake (Placer, Eldorado, Amador, and Alpine cos.).

Nov. 16 through the...

My understanding of dapping (and I'm no expert) is a reliance on the wind to move and dance your fly on the water using spider-web like line. With tenkara, I can use my 11ft furled tapered leader...

Dean,

That might be a web browser issue. I had no problems in Chrome or Firefox, but sheepishly (being a Mac guy) have to admit it didn't load in Safari.

And as a side note... one of the...

Been doing it now for about 2 years. Ralph is right. It is not dapping. Scott is right. It is not for every situation. However, I've found that for ultralight utility and backpacking in far away...

Really great stuff Ken! Thanks for putting all the work into it and sharing it with us all. It's funny how many people are hesitant to go "old school" and read a map.

FWIW, I've also found that...

I can vouch for the systems, particularly after spending a day with Bill on the Upper Sac late last year (CFFU fly club trip). The system works really well (as do Bill's flies) and can't say enough...

Love the intensity in the eyes. What a great shot!

I really am laughing out loud. This is classic! It has to go in some memoir somewhere. Truly an "adventure!"

Stunning color, thanks for posting! Sure makes me think about playing hooky this week.

Just ran across this article:

As has already been mentioned, if you're so inclined to make your own check out Kathy Scott's DVD. I purchased it nearly two years ago and have been furling ever since. I put together a couple of...

Will do! I'll make sure the list contains absolutely *everything* and will get it to you sometime tomorrow afternoon.

And hey, in my mind it's never too early to start planning for the next trip...

Well, I have to admit the geek side took over and I did take the time to sit down with a scale and weigh *everything* I use for backpacking and fly-fishing. I entered it all in a spreadsheet, and I...

Thanks guys, I really appreciate. It's hard to put into words the details of all the trips, experiences, good times, and bad. Darian, you're right about the travel. I hesitate to add up the miles (in...

Sure have missed you guys.

I've been off the grid for a while now. You know, life. Job changes, family members passing, new family members born, and a lot more have made for sporadic fishing at...

_SHig,

Brought back great memories of a trip earlier this year. Way to hang in and pursue! Thanks for sharing.

John

Sam,

Yes, they do. As do the LCT in Showers as the lake version for your HTC. Good luck. That's beautiful country.

John

troutdog,

Having the opportunity earlier this year to pursue both the Warner Lakes and Goose Lake redbands, this has really piqued my attention. Will definitely be looking forward to hearing your...
