Your the man Naoki!  Any time you want to tie flies or go fishing, let me know.  It was nice talking to you to and from our destination.

    This trip was amazing. The trip started for me Friday around 9pm when Cris and Naoki picked me up here in Bakersfield. We headed out Stockdale Hwy to interstate 5. I had planed on sleeping on the way up but was to excited. Cris took a nap so he could drive later on down the road. It was a long road that seemed to never end. Radar detector going off and looking out the back window...."is he still on the side of the road??"    When the sun started to come out from the east our destination was getting closer. When we arrived into town for breakfast we could she the beauty of northern California. I was in shock because I have only dreamed of going to places like this.  We had a good hot breakfast and some coffee. Keep in mind I am still awake from Fri 5:30am with a full hard days work behind me.  
 
     We got to our first fishing spot at about 6am. The scenery and water look like it was out of a book or magazine. We spoke with a local for a few minutes and he gave us some pointer of the area. We said our thank you's and off to the trail we went. We walk for a while. Saw some breath taking views. Cris and Naoki got into the water and I decided to get some pictures and video of them before i fished. Once I got into the water my tiredness went away and I was in a new world. I did not get one rise, bite, or hit until late afternoon with my first Brown Trout. It was a little one but hey I got one! I was stoked. We stayed on the water till about noon. We decided that pizza and some beers sounded really good and went back to town.  
 
     During lunch we talked about how many waters there were to fish in this area and how close the were in proximity. We had a major plan change and boy were we glad. I sure as hell was.  After lunch we went to a new tail water for all of us. When we arrived I was greeted with lots of thorn's all along the thorny trail to the water that was not so easy to wade in. I was thinking to myself this is going to be tough. I finally found a spot on top of a rock/plant to fish from with a nice deep run and some deep pocket water in front of me. First cast out I was hooked up. Woooohoooo!!! I pulled up a nice fat rainbow. I was thrilled at how this trip was turning out still with no sleep. The fish keeped the energy flowing. I took a quick pic and let em go. Second cast out..I was hooked up again!! HOLY CRAP!! This river is awesome. I was so excited that I didn't set the hook and just as fast as the fish was on it was off. I didn't care. I was having a blast.  Naoki and Cris had at it and I think I was the only one with a fish to net on this tail water.
 
     We went back to the spring creek we started out at  for the evening hatch of caddis, mayfly, golden stones and a few others that all went off at the sametime. There were rises all over. It was really hard fishing and frustrated me. I said the heck with fishing and started chasing bugs with my net and camera. I got a few caddis and checked them out. I tried to catch a golden stone but they flew to fast and to high for being in the water. I saw this huge GS fly across the water falling to the water. It plopped on the water then took off. As it left the water I saw this huge fish jump for it. I tied on my big o'l dry stonefly and casted 3 feet in front of where I saw this fish. It drifted 2 feet and BAM! I was on. This fish pulled hard. It didn't get far but it pulled like a train. It went in circles around me. I took what seemed like 10 minutes to me to get it to net. I was amazed that I pulled out a 17"-18" rainbow out of this creek. It was fat and healthy. I took a few pic's and let it go to be caught another day. It was almost dark so I headed down river to find Cris an Naoki.  It was dinner time and went back to town for some well deserved burgers that were so hot it burned my mouth.   but it tasted so good. haha.  
 
     After dinner we drove to our next town and destination. Along the way on this road we have never seen so many deer in our live's. Seemed like every 500 yards their were 1-3 deer. It was crazy. We arrived at our lodge about midnite. We had a few beer that I had brought along. Cris tied A fly and called it quits. WE NEEDED SLEEP!! I was going on 36 hours being awake.  We only got 5 hours sleep. We had a Cliff Bar and coffee breakfast and headed out to the place I now call "heaven on earth." Upon arrival I was attacked by the flying blood sucker's.  
 
     Once I got on the water they went away. I walked down the trail a ways down till i found some water I thought was fishy. As I walked I was look at all the beautiful views this place had to offer. Once I got on the water I fished the first seam and hooked up with 15" rainbow. After a few minutes  I had another hook up in the same run but broke off behind a rock. This was the coolest place i have ever been. We did not have a lot of time to fish since it was our last day and had the long drive back home. We packed up headed for the 5. We stopped in Dunsmuir for some lunch. Saw the Upper Sac and Mt.Shasta before heading home. I slept most of the way back home. I was exhausted but I had a blast. I would do it again in a heart beat. I went with two of the coolest people ever. I want to thank you Naoki for picking me up and letting me ride along. Cris. This was EPIC. It was real cool to fish with ya finally. I cant wait till I can come to your home waters and see what it has to offer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvfNjsR28eQ&feature=youtube_gdata
