Whoo Hoo!

Great catch!

willing and able to try H&M again! Ever since a buddy got a boat, I've been tagging along whenever he goes... paying gas and doing deck hand duties seems a small price to pay for the freedom of going whenever and wherever BUT, the downside, we have little to no ability to place ourselves on the fish. HA. that hasn't changed either in a long time, so we usually just end up bottom fish retrieving and watching dolphins or an occasional whale ... all said , still not a bad way to spend time.

Hi~ I am familiar with the chow. Really nice. Love catching blues and blacks, they seem to herd together, eh? Never got a ling keeper... gotta check that box soon...

Will do~ needless to say, skunked on the first fly rod trial... LOL>>> there's a learning curve/curse Ha!

Well, there is a fish plant going on this week that I am considering to test out a new fly fishing set up! I don't know how to post pics here yet, but that is making an educated guess that I will catch something. I can almost guarantee a catch on the regular set up, split shot, Eagle treble hook, and powerbait (don't judge too much, I fall on the side of when you want to make sure you catch at least one, always bring the chartreuse colored fake stuff) One day I'll fly fish a wild trout and match wits. Till then, fake fishing for hatched ones will have to do.

Morro Bay is a great camping destination. You are a lucky ={ my friend.

Thanks!

Hi Bill,

Thanks for the welcome and the Eastern Sierras have been a favorite camping destination forever. Especially enjoyed hiking into a little campsite 2 hrs from Placerville on a moonlight summer. Just purchased a fly rod to match an inherited Orvis 5/6 reel. Watched a few instructional videos on casting, eye protection (Don't want to temp fate) and wader choices ( went with a pretty standard big 5 cheapie to start ) other than the basics, any fly fishing golden tips? Don't mind trial learning by jumping right into the deep end... what else is a semi-retired person going to fill up the days with? lol

I know, how about a primer on looking up the myriad fishing regulations in the Eastern Sierras? Catch limits vary widely I am told. Any one stop source for info? Easy to look up or call someone / someplace? Spotty internet on cell while in the mountains... gps unreliable is what I can recall (ask how I know) ha! stupid me, got lost once.

Thanks in advance

nice deal! caught only shorts there. used white grubs, any tips for the legals? the pier near shore was productive last year. maybe from shore? ty!

go heels! want to visit that research triangle someday and then hit the locl waters.

thanks man! from the sunny left coast

ty! really appreciate the welcome, and looking forward to slightly overcast days with tides in motion. from my recollection, them, were the best fishy days..

oh, trust me. fisherman's life, etc all caught up on. it is a great time to be alive with a high speed connection. lol

cheers mate
