Hillary fly fishes?? Sorry, couldn't resist. Congrats, Greg!!

I was wondering the same thing - but for goldens.

So, due to proximity in time and placement next to the GTW planning thread when clicking "view active topics" I was naturally thinking of these for backpacking. At a bit over 4 lbs. for the liquid, and an average weight of 2+ lbs. for the growlers and the fact that 64 oz is only about 5 be...

Caught a couple on the Kern and recently out in the Sierras (since I'm not allowed to mention creeks???) Welcome, Celine. You mention addition - apparently you have found the right place. As for mentioning creek names, there aren't any hard and fast rules, but like most internet fishing forums thes...

Let me revise my curmudgeonly previous post. Carrying a GPS is here to stay and there seems to be no stopping it, even though it's bad enough that people don't know how to use a map and compass anymore, now they carry one of these and don't know how to use it. But there's no going back on this one, ...

With a marmot underneath you, no doubt.
