Interesting story what made you leave?

@@pointdrago4350 the drug & gangs...then marriage & kids... raised the kids up in a nice place with great schools...everytime I go back to Los Angeles it's looks worse than the last visit... mountains on the east coast don't compare to the mountains in California...snowboarding in the morning and surfing in the evening...it's a beautiful place that is not so beautiful anymore

@@germicanlifestyle9069 checks out, thanks for the insight!

it's still beautiful you just have to go a bit further to get away from the people nowadays

@@HookontheFly I guess there’s beauty to be found in the darkest places. I left when I graduated high school. And I agree, every time I go back it gets worse and worse. They destroyed the west fork a couple years back with all that mud water. It’s just bad management and corruption in the governing bodies. I still try to fish it at least once every time I visit, but it’s been a year or so since my last chance.

thanks! new short edit out next week!

thanks dude!

You bet!

yes it's closed. i think it must have damaged the road because i've gone up there twice to check and there were road crew guys stopping people from going in because they were working.

yes, west fork was closed off, rest was super low/warm, didn't get a bite.

they couldn't get enough of the elk hair caddis

Not locally, I've been only fishing the Owens and Kern lately because they've been on fire the past 4-6 weeks. So I'm not sure how the other local waters are faring right now.

very manageable. from the parking lot there is a paved bike path that runs along the river and there are entry points all along the path (tho sometimes the spots next to the parking lot are full of swimmers on warm days). I think it's all closed right now because of the Bobcat Fire, which burned most of this area in the past few weeks.

yes! on the west fork. its closed now

@@HookontheFly why is it closed?

@@chadricrichardson669 there was a big fire, lots of damage.

@@HookontheFlystill closed?

@@nartron3000 open on weekends now

no. that's the intro to my series, it's just pieces of all the vids I've done.

no. the water is warm, low and muddy. a construction worker said as long as they are working on cogswell dam (which could take another year) the stream won't support fish.

West Fork hasn't been fishing as good since they've been doing construction on Cogswell. Did you check out my last one I did on the San Gabriel Mountains? it's rad! Got one on the Owens River dropping next week as well.

@@HookontheFly I personally fish somewhere near by can’t burn my spot for the same reason people ruin things . I’ll check it out and subscribe as well for replying 🤙🏻 like the content as well🤙🏻

@@HookontheFly any info on lytle creek fishing ?

@@egld2020 awesome, thanks!

@@egld2020 no i haven't been there in awhile
