After a long week of the office, traffic, and travel, David Lofthouse, has been getting away from the chaos of Los Angeles to find trout water on the weekends. What he found on this trip was a few willing trout...and the need to escape even farther from the city's reach.
In his words..."Well, the first trip to the mountains was yesterday. Our goal was to get to the falls since the only access is a very narrow outflow slot and the pool is huge."
"Right off I started to hook fish. I fought a few and lost them before landing. Just as we were making progress a hiking club showed up. One of them walked up within four feet of me and jumped into the water. I reeled in and prepared to leave. My friend was quite insistent that we could still catch fish. I patiently waited while time proved him wrong. We decided to double back and fish a few smaller pools and enjoy our lunch before heading back home."
From talking to David this week it sounds like on these "Escapes from L.A." that they will need to get up earlier and push farther out to leave the hiking clubs and dog walkers behind. I wonder where they are off to this weekend?

Dave is lucky his two gun swinging comrads were not there or the guy who jumped in his fishing hole might look like swiss cheese! HA!
Dave get your ass back up to the cabin and you won't have to deal with the rude people of the city!

Cameron - Where is this? I was going to head up to a place I know, but I haven't heard of any fish?
