Although the fishing started off great in Colorado, it has been almost nonexistent for the last few days. I know it’s called ‘fishing’ not ‘catching’. However, now that I have started putting dates in my Blog, I have come to realize I am doing way more driving than fishing.
I arrived at the Umpqua River near Roseburg, OR from Bend. By the time I got there the sun was setting and after driving for the better part of the day, all I wanted was to set up camp and relax. The biggest downside… No cell coverage, no WiFi.
I know some people want to ‘disconnect’ from everything, but really… everything??? I normally spend my nights planning for the next day or two and without information, I feel like I’m stagnate. I need to look at routes, river levels and tidal flow near the coast, and potential camp spots. So basically, I spent half of my morning driving somewhere with coverage to plan the rest of the day. So, yes, poor planning on my part. I should have just fished the Umpqua all day, found a new camp spot with coverage and planned that evening. But I did not…
The best news is there was an In-n-Out Burger in Grants Pass. I know what some of you are thinking… ‘it’s not the best burger ever’. And it’s not: it’s the best fast-food burger ever. It gets oversold at times. But it’s as consistent as it comes. I ordered my standard, Double Single with cheese, no onion add pickles and was not disappointed.
