The " a bit of humor" post made me think. That could never be me in that chair. Unless I wanted to carry that chair about two miles over hills, dales and deadfalls there would just be NO WAY. To avoid fishing crowds and to frankly catch bigger and more fish, I usually like to hike into areas where the accessibility for the "average" angler could be called difficult. Many a time after huffin and puffin I did question my reasoning but after a great day of fishin, all the pain is forgotten. I have also, on occasion, run into critters of a larger persuasion like bears and moose(s) but thankfully no confrontations took place. I do carry spray or a firearm ( where permitted) just in case.
How far from the crowd do y'all veer to fish. The common perception is that most fishermen fish within 250 yards of their cars . Of course I understand the limitations due to physical handicaps but other than those obvious exceptions, do you escape the crowds or do you help create them?
