You might remember that last year I took my friend and former co-worker, John L’Etoile, to the East Walker where he not only fly fished for the first time, but caught his first fish ever! At the end of that post I had said it was now John’s turn to teach me how to surf. [...]

I knew the hike to Gardisky Lake was tough. I first heard about the lake about 18 years ago. A friend and I met a guy while fishing the Eastern Sierras and he told us about a good lake to fish called Gardisky. He then warned us it was a really steep hike. I have [...]

I had planned to go fishing this week for quite a while. Jen and the boys are up at Lake Tahoe at 4H camp and I am playing bachelor. I figured I would take advantage and go fishing, which I did. Twice actually. I originally planned on an all day outing, but it didn’t turn [...]
