SLAM OUTDOORS: Baker Res

Mission Statement

With the expanded use of social media today, it is easy to look at others' lives and wish you were them. There are a handful of fortunate individuals who get to hunt and fish for a living. There are others who's circumstances allow them to spend more time in the outdoors than most. The truth is.. the majority of us are average people. Average men and women who do the best we can with what we have. For us, every hunt is public land. Every hunt is DIY. We will most likely never own a Yeti, our Igloos will have to do. Never look down range through the lens of a Swarovski or wear anything adorned with the Sitka logo. We will never have a hunting magazine, never be the stars of our own hunting show, become prostaff members, or receive free gear. We have a limited number of days off each year, and limited funds to spend. This does not however crush our spirit or curb our enthusiasm for the great outdoors. We will take every opportunity we get to enjoy the Streams, Lakes and Mountains.

We do not criticize those more fortunate than us. Our hope is to appeal to hunters just like us. Those with limited time, limited assets, limited resources, marginal gear, yet, 100% passion.

Baker Res

We were invited on a quick evening fishing trip up to a favorite childhood fishing spot of mine. Baker reservoir still has those elusive native brown trout lurking around the rocky banks. With the spawn in full swing I was hoping to get one to latch onto my "secret" jig. Unfortunately, we just landed planters tonight . Noah landed a nice rainbow all by himself! He was pretty excited when his rod started to bending and that little spiderman reel started squealing.

The fish wouldn't stop moving!

I snapped this photo as I was enjoying

the brisk fall evening.

Way to go Noah, way to represent SLAM style! We should probably make it out to Sand Hollow or Quail on last time before Loa.
