You got that right!

I still prefer conventional for a lot of applications, they are more powerful and give you more of a direct feel when free spooling. That said, I just bought this set up and wanted to mess around with it. Throwing into the wind also favors spinning gear- it’s a trade off, but I had a blast.

This book is full of rocks, wrecks, and other structure. It’s got spots all over LA and Orange County- can’t recommend it enough.

I love my FJ, even with 188,000 miles it’s hard to imagine getting rid of it.

​@@rohrsoutdoorsyeah at the time I had to move further away from work and I couldn't keep up with the fuel expense because that thing gobbled up gas pretty quickly lol but if I ever come across one again (that I could afford) I'll probably go back to it. So is this trail more on the side of where lytle creek? I live in Lake arrowhead and trying to find easy trails to test out my wk2.

@@saint_keeblerElf yes, it is on the opposite side of the 15 from Lytle Creek.

Agreed.

Thanks for the kind words. No other social media besides the CZcams channel.

Thanks 👍

A day I won’t forget anytime soon. I had very low expectations after the storm that went through.

A fun one for sure. Thanks.

I was actually on Bailey Canyon today! Yes, you should be able to navigate the terrain. Be aware the brush gets pretty tight in a few spots- you will definitely be getting some scratches.

@rohrsoutdoors yea ok. I was just up at Big Bear a couple of days ago, got some strips there.

@@broinsocali The mark of a well-traveled vehicle.

Roughly 7,500’ I think.

@@rohrsoutdoors thanks

Thanks- I think that those of us who harvest our own food come to respect the value of life the most. I’m in so cal too- hope to see you out there.

What size and color?

I have no idea, never tried em.

they work

Thanks- glad you enjoy the videos, and glad to share the adventures.

You bet! Can’t wait to get back up there, but rewatching this one is almost as good.

Agreed. That was my first time, I am definitely going back in the fall.

@@jamescater802 18-22, typically 20.

@@jamescater802 it really smooths out the ride.

Understood- I try to touch them as little as possible when I am not keeping them to eat, that’s why I avoid a net and lots of time out of the water.

You should! The season usually opens around April 20-25, and goes to sometime in the fall. I haven’t gone in 12 years or so, but we used to go every year sometime between April and July.

Some of the trout are there around, but the majority of what you catch are going to be stocked rainbow trout. Weather and water flow are the two big things to think about, if the water is flowing too fast, it is basically unfishable in the streams.

I know we are in the same basic area- if you are ever near Brea stop by Fisherman’s Access. Jack and the guys are great, and can help get you set up. It’s really straightforward, #2 line is the key.

@@rohrsoutdoors okay thanks for all the info 🙌🏾

@FishingWithJRome happy to talk more sometime.

Fisherman’s Access- fifteen years ago.

It’s like a fine wine at this point.

@@rohrsoutdoors did they stop making them I tried looking for it but can’t find it anywhere

Fun times- it had been almost 12 years since the I have been to the sierras. Can’t believe I waited this long to get back.

@@rohrsoutdoors Wow! Well with such a great and fun video it seems like it was well worth the wait.

Heck yes- let’s pick a week.

Perhaps a different kind of palooza this year.

Thanks. I am already planning next year’s trip.

Have fun! It’s a cool little trail, especially after the spring rains.

5’ and 7’. Longer rods for lakes and casting distance. The shorter rods better for getting around in the brush.

#2 Izorline xxx for both.

Thanks.

It’s pretty short. I think you can do it in under two hours. It took a lot longer because we did a bunch of off shoots and stopped for lunch.

I am still trying to figure it out, but it seems like there are several ways for bass. It almost always seems to get bit on the sink or on a pause during a retrieve, I I mostly let it sink to a certain depth, wind 5-20 cranks, then let it back down.

Hookup Baits actually has their own CZcams channel where they show how.

Glad you liked the video!

Is this near intake 2?

I went here with my dad and I years ago and I forgot where it is

@@AlsFarrierServices kind of.

I have since heard it as well. There was nothing posted that we could see, and there were several people camped on the sand when we arrived, so it didn’t occur to me that it wouldn’t be okay.

check with local ranger stations, a lot of rumors about this but better to know for sure.

@@DIGITALCITY-wn4by correct, but in the absence of signs it’s hard to tell. I mostly try to enjoy the wilderness as I find it, in its most natural state. That is to say, that beach existed for a very long time without ranger stations.

That's where we usually stop for lunch, the river is really peaceful.

I am going to keep this one a secret, it is probably my favorite spot in all of Bishop.

@@rohrsoutdoors I fish eastern sierras every year honey holes are like knowledge , what’s the use if you don’t share . 🤷🏽‍♂️

Thanks!

Glad you like them!

I use Gaia GPS for land navigation and as a back on my boat. My sonar/gps on the boat is a 20+ year old Humminbird.

@@rohrsoutdoors Thanks for info.

@@henrysauceda4439 I am hopefully going to upgrade boats in a year or two, so I have been putting off getting a more modern unit. As primitive as it is, it still works great.

@@rohrsoutdoors it seems to work very good. Seeing taking your kids fishing reminds when I use to take my daughters fishing when they were little like yours . Now they are in early 40ths busy working. Continue to cherish those moments my friend .

I have 285s on a 3” Old Man Emu lift, and have been really happy with it.

Thank you!

That stinks. Trout fishing is so hit or miss it can drive you crazy.

@@rohrsoutdoors yea true just gotta keep tryiing great vid!

It’s a cool spot for sure.

Kind words, I hope so!

Very cool, I did not know that. Wild to think about people on horses and carriages on the same path.

For lakes and ponds I like to fish a Carolina rig. A fairly small sliding egg sinker with a Carolina Keeper or swivel, and then a 12”-18” leader. #8 Owner Mosquito hook. Bait is either a mouse tail or the Berkeley night crawler chucks.

I was just using #2 Izorline, no fluorocarbon.

Thanks, my first time back in a dozen years.

I appreciate the feedback.

I felt like I should be writing music. So peaceful.

Thanks, it was a fun bite.

I have no idea what that emoji means. Clue me in.

Yes. Several of the offshoots were closed off when I ran it, presumably due to rains. I took it north and ended up at Silverwood Lake.

@@rohrsoutdoors Cool brother! Thanks for the reply. I moved in the road from it and I always wondered where it led to or if we were even allowed in there. I will definitely check it out
