The Long Hike to FISH - Camping and Fishing at Vallecito - McFly Angler Episode 22
Last week, I showed how I setup camp and tried to get to the top of the mountain. However I wasn't able to make it all the way to the top due to a storm coming through. So I woke up very early the next morning and hiked all the way to the top. It was a beautiful hike, with amazing mountains and forest everywhere. At the top, I was able to see the raging river below which made it a super dramatic view. Just amazing up here.
Unfortunately I didnt catch any fish, the river was moving just a bit too fast. Also, it was almost impossible to find places to stand on the bank. There was no back cast, and it was a little tough to roll cast to where I needed to be.
Overall it was a beautiful and amazing day. Well worth the trip even though I didnt catch fish. Just being out here in nature was well worth it. Check out the first days video here if you are interested... https://youtu.be/gVgeA7reDNw
Many of you have asked for lists of the gear I use in each of my videos. Here is a list of everything I can think of that I used during this trip, with links to where I bought them, or places I think have them for great deals.
