Hard to believe it snowed the following day but I was able to get out to East Fork Lake and enjoy some excellent shore fishing. I noticed an access point on the last hike and promised myself to come back with my pole and check it out. There’s a bit of scrambling involved following the shoreline but it’s well worth the effort climbing over logs and slipping through mud to get into the shallows where crappie and bass are always hanging out. Hiking with fishing gear can be a challenge but it turns out that fishing poles, after breaking them down, will fit right into the trekking pole loop of my daypack so getting to shore was easy as both hands were free.
