Mountain Stream on the FLY ......San Gabriel Mountains Tough but worth it !!!! (PICS)

[VIVID_FLY]

Another trip up to the local mountains produced nice trout action. Clean air and breezy conditions were perfect for dabbling flys upstream.

My first outing with some old fly fishing gear. The rod was given to me by Mike aka PMB. I purchased the reel off ebay. Im pretty sure both are older than me. 5wt wf floating line and 4-6wt furled mono leader with 5x tippet
hand tied flies of course.
