Road trips are always fun, add some fishing and camping into the mix and it makes for a great time

Congrats on another YT

Happy Birthday, Squatch

Cheez is coming out next week, looks like The Cyclops will get wet !

Looks great !

Ouch, I hate when things don't last like they should

I've seen some videos on those reels and they look pretty cool, hope it does the trick for your shoulder 

 Needed to get away after The Pig Party so I made plans to head North. First I had to make Jerky, wash Bad Pig and make up some Breakfast Burritos




Hit the road early Tuesday morning and was on my way Not much traffic going North.



I get all Giddy inside when I get close



Stopped at a spot on The Lower Owens, no luck, water was a bit stained too



Got to the house and the next morning I rigged up my gear, going to be busy the next few days



We tried a local spot close to the house and I got a player on my little Dock Runner setup I dropped him in the weeds but he swam away to fight another day !




The next day we did some exploring up to Rock Creek, so cool to find new spots




Lots of walking which was tough on my knee but worth the scenery  




Thursday was more of the same, lots of driving and hiking to great spots along the creeks. Found some holes that were holding fish. We explored from Mammoth to Tioga Pass up in Lee Vining  Even had lunch at Tom's Place again too.










Had a change of plans and came home a day early. I left at 12:30pm on Friday which I normally don't do but I figured I would be home by 7:30 that night at the latest........WRONG ! Got to the Cajon Pass at 5pm where the 15 and 395 meet and it was gridlock!!! The Freeway was shut down cause a motorcyclist got killed    I sat at The Pilot Truck Stop till 10:30pm   I could see the traffic on the 15 starting to move again so I hopped on the 15 South with every Semi Truck that was part of the mess and I got caught up in 2 more accidents on the way home     Finally got home at 1:30am.... 13 hours of BS      Oh well, still had a great time, will be going back next month but in the meantime it's time to get some blood on The Cyclops !

Nice way to avoid the Skunk

I need to get out there in the next few weeks, things will only improve and I have the "ITCH"

And the drive home wasn't exhausting either

Them Carp only seem to be caught with an arrow

Looks like a great, relaxing and fun getaway, very cool

Good luck with the MRI, hopefully good news or as good as possible

I'll be up in the Sierras for a week, I'll try to check in when I can to see what's happening

Oh Boy !!!

Nice PB, save some ice for the shoulder  

And one destroyed shoulder ?? Hopefully not. I saw the pic, great catch and a big Congrats !!!

Nice trip, the season is only going to get better

Insurance doesn't cover the shot ?

Hopefully you can nurse this along and score a few nice fish in the meantime

Things are going to pop any day now

Hoping to get The Cyclops wet as soon as I get back from Bishop/Mammoth in a couple weeks
