LydreBea The dock is high mgything for easiest early opened andMusic their flying hey mgything to fast i am about one mile away I want to go i don't know if I can get there yet bi atu Rode closures, just complete inability to get to where I want to go. So the season is almost here, probably a little early today, but we should have some fun. It is so beautiful up here. The hike from the trailhead to the meadow that I was at earlier was actually pretty poor hike. So much snow, a waste of deep in some spots. I wasn't sure I was going to be able to get to the ponds, but the hike from the meadows to the ponds has been much better. Tons of runoff, a lot of water on the trail, obviously my feeder wet. The ponds are right around the corner and I'm going to get a visual and I hope it's just great because there's nobody up here. It feels so good to be out even though conditions are certainly not ideal. The ponds haven't seen any fish activity, but I haven't really been down there yet. So I'm going to walk down to the ponds and then I'm going to find a tree to put a hammock in and we're going to start relaxing. We're going to do some fishing, I got a stake later, we're just going to have some fun. It has been a minute since I've sat in this chair. I walked down by the pond enough to see that there was several fish jumping so I'm going to put together my three-way, little dry fly and go fishing. Still got to clean camp up a little bit, get some firewood, a little windy, it's always windy up here, but we're going fishing. I'll probably just take my GoPro down, it's pretty wet down there, so we'll be on the water real soon. That's it. That is my first high-winter fish of the year. They're just little, you know, four to eight inches in here is all you're going to get. It wasn't paying attention. I'm going to see some fish rise over there in the corner. There we go, see what that'll do. It wasn't paying attention. There we go, I did not fall in the water here. Alright, I got one out of the lower pond or the middle pond anyway. I've been trying to get this one for about 20 minutes. A little better, a little better fish. Wow. I'm not sure how well we can see that one. That is not a bad fish for these little ponds. Fishing was pretty good. I caught five or six to the net, missed a whole bunch, and I caught one. I mean, it was by no means a big fish, but for the area, for the creek, for the ponds, it's been probably eight years since I've seen a fish, that big in here, so that was cool. But I need some firewood for later so I can cook a steak and some vegetables. So now I'm going to collect some firewood. I see a whole bunch laying around. Somebody's left some here, it's been here since last year, and I'm just going to enjoy the area for a bit. Hiking is probably not too great. As you can see, it's pretty socked in with snow, but luckily camp is great. So I'm going to get some firewood, relax, then we're going to do some more fishing. It is so pretty up here. I relaxed for about an hour, I got a little bit of firewood. Probably enough for the night. The fish are talking to me again, so we're going to try and catch a couple more. It's a little really pretty though. It's a little really pretty though. Got him. I'll take that. Probably the littlest one of the day. A little guy. Thank you. Oh boy, it has been a great day. It's about a quarter after seven. I've kind of spent the whole day fishing the ponds. There's three of them, caught fish in all of them, so that was cool. It's the best these ponds have fished in probably seven or eight years. I'm hungry, I've got a steak and potatoes, a spare, I guess. We're going to get the fire going so I can get some coals, and we're going to relax by a fire until I feel like bed. It's going to be a good night. I got a new down jacket, I really needed one, and it got a little chilly probably because my feet were wet, but I had to take it off and they're cooking around the fire. I'm too hot. I like my veggies a little crispy, so I'm going to let them cook for a couple more minutes so I'm going to get the steaks on. We're going to have 15 or so minutes away from dinner and starving. Dinner looks good, it smells good. I'm going to turn the fire up a little bit, eat dinner, relax for a bit, and hit the hammock. It is 10 o'clock, I'm going to put this fire out, get in my hammock and watch a movie and go to bed. See all in the morning. Good morning, it is eight. I'm just getting up and moving, I've got some coffee cooking right now, I'm going to fix my coffee, and I'm going to pack up while I drink my coffee and hit the trail. Just a short little quick trip, it feels good to be back out and hopefully we'll see you all soon.
