OK, not really, but here I sit waiting for my fight back from Los Angeles. We have just been notified that our plane has hit a bird and therefore has to be taken in for repairs. My flight has been delayed 5 hours or more, and there are no other options other than just sitting here watching other fights come and go. So I guess, if you want to get technical, I am being held captive -- by a dead bird!
While sitting here, I did an Internet search for fly fishing near LA. Although not a fly fishing destination, I read where there are some reasonable streams within an hour or two of Beverly Hills, where I was this weekend for a conference. I wish I would have known that before I came, as I would have brought one of my tenkara rods. After the conference let out yesterday afternoon, I did go up into the local hills and did some hiking, but I would have loved to try my hand at catching some wild trout in Southern California.
Anyway, not to bore you too much, but I just wanted you to know that could have fished this weekend but didn't because I didn't do my homework. Bummer!
Not my plane, unfortunately.
Bum deal. I was just out there in June and fished the East Fork San Gabriel River. Awesome pacific rainbows. All on tenkara by the way.
ReplyDeleteThat was one of the places I could have gone; so close!

Either the Shimano Kozuka or the Daiwa Kiyose will fit inside a briefcase. Of the two, I prefer the Shimano, which also has a built-in line holder in the tip cap. Now here is no excuse for not being able to fish on a business trip.
ReplyDeleteDon't leave home without one!
I won't leave home without one now. Also, I'm going to do my homework better before any trip -- so to be prepared.
