We aren't too fussy. I'd like to target larger fish in general, but I - like you it seems - prefer a more remote area where the banks are not lined with people fishing. If I could backpack in a few hours to get away from the majority of people, I would certainly take that route.

Sweet vids man! Pike on the fly are a blast!
Some backcountry lakes can produce 18-20" fish pretty regularly but I don't know of any lol (I've seen the pics to prove it though) I generally like moving water, and I know of quite a few amazing small streams where you rarely, if ever, see another person. In the basalt area you can have your pick...trophy trout, isolated lakes and small streams, and warmwater fishing, all within a half hour drive!

Yeah, that totally sounds awesome. I just have to figure out what we are going or I am going to drive myself crazy thinking about this place. Lol.
That stuff is pretty sweet. i suck at fly fishing
It definitely takes some practice.
Went out Friday after work. Still getting fish on caddis dries, this one was the biggest....
And a side note....pretty sure I saw a mountain lion when I got back to my truck (it was dark and I just had my little light) so I will no longer be fishing there without a gun lol. I usually always carry in the woods, but this stretch is right by the town so I didn't think it would be an issue...I'm glad I live in a state that allows open carry!

Usually a Sig 225 9mm, but I prefer my tanfoglio witness .45. I need to get the .45 repaired, because I feel undergunned in the woods with a 9 lol.
