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 [...]

Since it had been two weeks since I was last up Highway 88, I figured the snow would have melted and I was right. I loaded the boys up with our float tubes and fly rods and we headed to Woods Lake on top of Carson Pass. I’d never fished there, but had heard the [...]
