Do you want to keep fishing for the next few decades? Get in shape and stay in shape.
If you blow out a joint or loose mobility due to poor health, your walk and wade days are over.
Sure, the ads are telling you that it’s cool to drink IPAs/whiskey, eat heavy foods, and sit around the camp fire…in reality you need to train to keep it going. At least if you want to keep it going in NorCal. If you want to get to the good water on the North Yuba, Upper Sacramento, McCloud, Pit, or the Truckee, you need to be fit.
This means doing cardio, strength training, and something to promote balance.
Personally, I do Yoga, weight training, cycling, and hiking as my core fitness activities. I also do kayaking, SUP, and rock climbing.
The canyon water is where the best fish are. Stay in shape so you can get in there and experience catching wild fish in beauty and solitude.
