I'll bring my traps... Looks like we can make it! Road condition? Think our little trailer could make it out there? (Tribeca or jeep) Ramp to launch kayaks? Never been there. Got close but haven't fished it...

You and your trailer could definitely make it. I was up there Saturday and the road was paved and fine (a few potholes) all the way down to the water. Take Foresthill Rd. in Auburn, turn right on Mosquito Ridge Rd. and head up through the mountains. It will first take you to French Meadows reservoir. Keep going across the dam, turn right at the end and you're almost there. The mt road winds back and forth a lot but I'm sure you could get you trailer out there. I saw much bigger trailers and RVs at Big Meadow campground. The campground was about a lil less than half full so everyone get up there early to grab a spot before they run out.

After the dam at French Meadows there is a sign pointing towards Hell Hole. The last time I was up there Google Maps said to turn left instead of right. A right turn follows the paved road, a left turn will lead you in by way of the Jeep road.

I hope to be there. Depends on when my grandson decides to born.
I’m not much of a beer drinker, so I’ll bring a few bottles of wine, and or gin.

I’ll try not to be much of a dick.

So now that Albion is in the books I’ve been reaching out to see about donations for the GO TO HELL Hole raffle. Looks like we should have some descent prizes. I will update soon with prizes and sponsors.

If you have a sponsor who you think might be able to support the event please let me know. If anyone has any gear they would like to personally donate to the event that would be awesome as well. The money raised will go towards PIF and Shicken.

Thanks

I want to give a big thank you to Charlie (Tshuas Tooj Vaj) and the Fresh N Salty crew for stepping up and getting his sponsors to dontate to this event. On top of these donations and a couple more we are waiting to hear back on they are pulling together an anonymous cash donation as well. It takes a village sometimes. Can’t thank the FNS crew enough.

QI Fishing has donated a new rod to the event to be raffled off.

Go check out their line up of great fishing rods https://www.qifishing.com

The FNS crew has also donated a new Neil Pryde splash jacket to the raffle.

Hey Everyone,

So there’s been questions about camping for this FNC. I’ll do my best to answer them here

My original plan was to have everyone in the upper parking lot above the ramp. This is free and is close to the launch. (But not super close) The other option is Big Meadows Campground about 2 Miles up the hill.

The parking lot has a pit toile but that’s about it. Fires are not allowed in the parking lot. One side of the lot is fairly flat the other side closer to the lake is a bit more sloped. Depending on the number of people showing up this might get tight. But I think it is doable if we are smart about setting up.

Big Meadows Campground has set sites and they are half off due to the fire a few years back taking out the water. But there is a pit toilet there and fires will depend on the USFS. I have also been told there are a lot of mosquitoes up at the campground where I’ve never had a mosquito issue in the parking lot.

I am planning on setting up in the parking lot and doing the potluck, corn hole, & raffle there as well. If people want to camp up at Big Meadow I don’t see any issue with that at all. No matter what it will all work out.

I swear have the best friends. Tony Moore just messaged me and and he is donating two $50 Bass Pro Shop gift cards.

Not sure about you but I know I can put these to use.

This event sounds great... thanks for organizing!
I never took my kayak up that far... will be busy youth soccer season time already but this sounds too much fun and getting to know other kayak anglers to pass up. May need some tips on how to hook up on these trouts. Still consider myself novice with one year fishing.

I hope I can make it and let you know as we get closer.
Is it possible to set up small tent next to the parking lot you plan to set up for?

There is definitely room for a small tent and I will be posting up info about a seminar at Hell Hole Friday night.
