[pct-l] fishing

[Steel-Eye]

Good morning, JJ,

Following is the bias opinion of someone who is not a hard-core angler. 
There is some good fishing water along the PCT, but very few thru-hikes 
carry fishing gear.  The hikers I see with fishing gear are usually section 
or day hikers.  Fishing gear is added weight with questionable benefit. 
Fishing permits are also a problem with three states to consider.  Sometimes 
one-day or weekly permits are issued at less expense, but timing and 
availability can be unpredictable.

just wanted to know if it's worth bringing a small collapsible fishing rod 
on a pct thru hike. are there enough spots on the trail so as to not regret 
bringing it along?
