Fishing in the mountain lakes and streams can be as complicated or as simple as you want it to be. Sometimes if all I want is fish for dinner, I'll just bring an ultralight spinning rig, a few hooks, split shot, and worms, they are deadly in small streams.

Did cardio today, legs felt good even after carrying the pack yesterday evening. IMHO, that is one of the biggest benefits of working out regularly--I still get fatigued from carrying loads uphill, but it's a whole lot easier to bounce back the next day without sore muscles.

Pretty soon it'll be time for some tune-up weekend excursions, after ice-out.


A wise man is frequently humbled.
