couldn't be Ashevegas, not enough graffitti and trader Joe bags littering the ground
The water you drink in the City originates in the Appalachians over 100 miles away. A series of reservoirs full of awesome water including streams linking them provides year round temperatures ideal for trout. Plus you get the occasional lake fish up in the streams. This one has been in the stream a long time though, you can tell by the vivid coloration. Brownies from the lake are more silver. And there is not one bit of trash to be seen because it's an artificial only stream. You tend to get more appreciative fishermen in those.
That Okuma reel is a $3 eBay purchase you old goat so I really don't care. As for my fishing outfit, Mrs H packed. I just snuck a rod, vest and wading shoes into the car...
She did object to the rod being in the car. However I pointed out that it was a 5'6" ultralight and took up no room. Only other gear was my vest. My strategy for going fishing is advanced stuff and not recommended for newlyweds. All the women and grand kids stayed with a cousin 30 miles away and my son in law and I stayed with my Uncle. He lives right in the middle of trout nirvana.
