2 drunks go fishing

If I get shit about my hats, you're getting shit about this get up.

I have that exact same Coleman stove, but I have never cooked bagels and lox on mine. I don't even know what exactly lox is , for that matter.

Do you find that the grill side is worthless?  I bought a griddle insert for that side that works a little better.
Its a toasted bagel, cream cheese, smoked salmon, red onion, & sometimes capers and other veggies.

it was the best of times, it was the worst of times

Granny getting the skunk off early


Much cooler in the gorge than on the road

GK missed more fish in this spot than I caught all weekend

Lot of bugs out

crouching granny, hidden trout

the gorge section was a nice place

damn i took a lot of pictures

"This is where we get out"

Only picture from the first night. Great burgers were had. A homebrew and several craft beers were consumed around a campfire.

DAY 2

Most important meal of the day

how i saw the chef in action

after stopping in at the cutest little camping town to pay phone home, we searched for brook trout

granny keepin it 100 on them specks

GK lied about there being no rainbow trout

told him I was getting hungry, but he wouldn't let me leave until i caught a brook trout myself. snack time

finally caught a fingerling. pushed on until we found a spot close to trail. another interesting part of this stream is how GK tried to convince me a bear was around. walking in he said he saw fresh shit on the ground. I never saw it. then, about 30 minutes in to fishing he stops and turns around and asks if i smelled that. "Nope." said it stunk like a bear. didn't work though.

After stopping back in the cutest little camping town to make sandwiches (granny didn't want to buy 'pork on a stick' from the hispanic woman), we hit the upper section in hopes of bigger fish



i left my net intentionally this trip because it had brought nothing but bad luck this far. cory did lose a nice fish while not paying attention to his flies

uh oh

his fly was up high

"no flies left behind"

perseverance

GK ties a real good knot IMO

picture of a picture taker
made it to the hike out spot. trekked back to camp with no browns to hand. really enjoyed the upper section though.

only Sally's I saw around all weekend

puddle of mudd


before

during

charcuterie appetizer

ahh, finally

GK brought light saber utensils

last beer before bed, which wasn't peaceful thanks to the two dudes who set up camp across from us. they did not get a fire going until after 9 pm. they attempted to cut firewood with a chainsaw before dark, but ricky let it die. got the saw up and running again some point in the night. had another vehicle join their party sometime between 2 and 3. i think they knew what they were doing.

all in all, a good weekend. caught fish, drank beer, ate good, and survived the long drive home.

Mine actually works pretty good for many things, including setting a pan on. I wouldn't want to cook a brisket on it, but it does ok for most small grilling/toasting chores. I have the griddle insert, too.
