Days that just click.

Last Saturday a buddy and I were able to head out of San Gabriel River West Fork for a little fly fishing.  As I titled the blog it was a transitional day in my fly fishing journey.  I'm a beginner, but I felt much calmer.  Casting felt good, fish were where I thought they would be and I was able to set the hook on more than I would have normally.  My friends at work have talked about the moment that "It Clicked" when they refer to recent times golfing ect...  This day of fly fishing was like that for me.  Felt really good man.



I also tested out my new Kodak Playsport camera.  I learned alot and there are plenty of tips for this cam...  Like blowing on the mic after the camera takes a dip.

San Gabriel River, Saturday.

We had a craving for fast moving water and wild trout. That meant we were heading north to the San Gabriel river west fork.  For those that might not know it can be found off the of the 210 fwy heading north on Azuza.

Carefully wading up stream

SGR was a new experience for all five of us.  There were lots of high points to the trip and everyone was able to catch (and release) some beautiful wild rainbow trout.  The downside to the trip was sadly the impact from humans.  The massive volume of trash and graffiti absolutely infuriated me. In a few instances I saw a bag of trash complete with dirty diapers left on the ground and weighted down with rocks...  I couldn't FATHOM a situation were it made sense to bag up trash weight it down but not just carry it out?!
