Oh, How I've Missed Fishing!

It's been over 2 years since I've had a rod/reel in my hand and a line on the water.  Wow that's quite awhile!  I can think of many excuses, maybe my schedule was too busy or I left my gear in NY (lived in Upstate NY before Cali) or etc..., but honestly it's just because I fell into a lazy lifestyle.  Looking back, all my experiences out fishing was always amazing!  Well spent time enjoying the serenity of the outdoors, the suspense of hooking into something big, or even just the company I was around. ^^  So it's about time for me to start back up and get out there again.

Upon a simple search on google, I found that I lived pretty close to Shadow Cliffs Regional Park, just a short bike ride, which allows fishing.  Looking over the trail maps and park website, the park seems to be regularly stocked with rainbow trout (in the spring/early summer) and channel catfish (in the summer/fall), outside of being stocked, there are resident bluegill, sunfish, crappie, and large-mouth bass.  With finding this new place I'm actually pretty excited to get out there, I will probably head to the local sports store and pick up some gear/tackle this weekend, then head to the park for my first time fishing in California!
