fly fishing on fish creek and camping on the Clark Fork river. Destination Alaska. 

Fly Fishing on fish creek, then drove up to the Clark Fork River to hang out for a bit. Slowly making my way up to Alaska.
I am John 68 years old and I live full-time in my Jeep Cherokee XJ exploring Fly Fishing , and living the dream.

    Passaic River 😂😂😂 I worked in some factories adjacent to Passaic River as a teen early 90’s. Dundee CAnal was there. Caught lots of big carp, 5-12 lbs under the mulberry trees by putting a mulberry on a hook and letting it slowly sink no weight. The carp were locomotives!!!

    I too, have worked in factories near Passaic River, but I never finished it. I’ve seen people catch carp and bring it home to eat. That is just so disgusting. Most of my childhood, I lived about a block away from the Hackensack river. Just a polluted river with a lot of mud. So much different than my trout fishing in the northwest.
