During winter months some creeks in the Blue Mountains stay open for fishing all year round. One minor detail is that it usually requires a fairly decent hike it. Most of the times staying overnight is a good idea, but this time we decided to walk lightweight, leave early and do it in a day. Few good
Decided to head up to the mountains in a search of a lake trout. There’s this one popular lake that can fire up on some days, especially in the bad weather. And this Sunday was looking just like that. Cloudy, windy, rainy and even a bit hail. So we thought it’s gonna be a great day to
