    It's early morning, and a cool mist is sitting on the surface of the lake. You look around you and marvel at the silence and solitude of this place. The soft sounds of your footsteps as you walk along the shoreline, the fog drifting silently across the cool waters as you begin your day of fishing.

     Backpack fishing is a technique used by countless anglers throughout the years. Fishing the back-country lakes and streams can offer anglers opportunities that more public areas lack. Fishermen, and women, that remember to pack the appropriate gear are often rewarded with a trip that they will forever remember........                        to read more go  to the following link.......

    I am with you on this one. Here in Utah there is plenty of opportunity for back country fishing and even a short hike can bring you to some solitude. one of the favorites in my area is the Uinta mountains. within an hour or less drive you are at the trail head. it looks like the wait will be longer this year as there is still a bunch of snow and possibly ice still.

    Just read the full blog. good point about planning what to take. I usually take a small pack and my vest with a small selection of cranks, spinners and flies. It seems though that I usually take 90% more gear than I really need. This is for a day trip though. if it is an extended stay then other gear takes priority. its a good idea to take some emergency supplies even if you only plan on staying a few hours and don't forget the TP and a small bag to carry out your waste.
