Hi,

I am a new kayaker and angler. I know barely anything about either, but am having tons of fun.

I mostly Kayak in Lake del Valle since its local and I figure it's as good a place as any to start learning bass and trout fishing. And a safe place to learn to kayak and fish.

I am 30, my name is Ryan. I am also deaf, so if there are any other deaf people I'd be interested I'm meeting up.

Good to be here!

30th place / 1132.25 pts / 7 Species - AOTY 2015 (moving up a little!)

Always looking for new people to fish with!

Probably pretty rare I'll be available on a weekday, but I'd definitely let ya know if I ever have a day off.

Welcome to the madness, Ryan.

I fish over at Shadow Cliffs for trout. That's another place you can go. No need to pay for mussel inspections.

I was planning on heading over there sometime soon, actually! It's half the drive from my house. What kind of fishing bait do you use there?
