I'm gonna start fishing again on my trips, though I don't think I'll get too crazy like carrying a poo poo ton of flies and fishing gear. Just enough stuff to get a fly on the water and bring something in if I catch it. Undecided if I'll eat any Lots of fish in the lakes and streams in the Sierra though, seems a shame to not give it a go

beefnoodle posted:Tenkara's great for that. A few oz. for a complete setup, which means I always have a rig with me when hiking. yup, that's what I'm going for. We used to always bring fishing rods when we went backpacking when I was a kid (I'd mainly use spinners and a bubble and fly setup because apparently my dad was too lazy to teach me to fly fish  ) and I kind of want to do that again. Gives you something to kind of relax and do at the end of the day as well

I think I'm looking for a 12' rod since I'm aiming to be doing lake fishing and alpine streams where trees and brush aren't really a big concern. I think I generally understand how traditional fly fishing works but I never got much of a chance or inclination to learn e: what is that, a plastic rod case, rod, two furled or level lines, tippet line, flies, tools for releasing fish etc, stuff to carry it?

Yup I imagine just going for fish cruising the edges and as I said some of the streams along the way. I'm actually gonna buy one once I get some return credit back on amazon and then can spend the rest of the winter working out the kit and details

Dr Ozziemandius posted:Sweet! Get yourself a $38 vise and tool kit, some thread and some hackle feathers, and the book Simple Flies. If you really want to learn about Tenkara fishing and techniques, get this book. He's got some basic fly patterns in there, too, I think. Realistically, learn to make a kebari you like and a killer bug pattern, and you've got all you need for drat near anything, just vary the size and colors. Not sure if I'm going to get into fly tying, at least yet. Dunno, gonna depend on how much time I start sinking into it I guess

If you're catch and releasing really try to not take them out of the water. It greatly increased the chance they'll die later even if they're alive when you let them go. Also don't hold them by the gills

Went backpacking last weekend and caught some brook trout, probably 6-8 inch guys. Fishing in high mountain lakes is kind of cheating though because they'll bite on pretty much anything. I'll see if I can dig up a pic
