David. The hammock thing is new to me and I am totally digging it. Thanks for the kind words. Be happy that you are getting some water where you are at. Our side of the hills are looking pretty dry. Crossing my fingers for a little rain and yes, I could definitely do without the wind…

I’m still waiting for July. I didn’t even know the hammock thing was a thing. hmmm… Great fish Ben! I’m sure day 2 was equally rewarding and I’m caught anticipating again.

We even had some snow over here last week or so ago. Crazy weather with the wind and all right?

Thanks Mike. I might. Although I’m concerned with how much water will be there. I’ll keep my ear to the ground and maybe make another trip in…

Thanks Bruce. Anytime you’re going to be out this way, let me know. Would love to spend a couple of days on the water. The hammock is pretty cool and I’m excited to put some more use into it. Take care and tight lines.

Snow! Woof…We are already hitting the 100s here in the valley and I’m a little concerned because our streams are looking a little skinny and it’s still early. We need some water in a bad way. Looking forward to coming up. Hoping that weather cooperates up there. Talk to you soon.

I’m in agreement with the two folks above beautiful scenery and fish. Oh and being a hammock camper myself I always love to see other people who like to swing while they sleep! Honestly your posts make me want to visit my wife’s aunt and uncle in AZ just so I can sneak away and fish. Looking forward to part II

Looks like great weather. We had snow here 2 days ago, its been a brutal spring for outdoor anything. Hoping for a day above 70 degrees soon. I would be going nuts if it weren’t for great write ups like this one. Your pictures are keeping me warm 🙂

Ben, your in luck then if you want to save weight. Hammocks is my other gig, mostly replacement suspension systems. I can cut 8 or more ounces and a good bit of bulk off that ENO for you. I’ll send you some stuff to try in the next week or so. After we clean up that hammock we’ll have to put an ultralight rod in your hands. 🙂

Nothing for sure yet but I might try to get down your way in a couple weeks……I really need to do some hiking and fishing in some warm weather.
