How to Pack for a Day Trip to the Lake
Most people find themselves in a better mood when they head to the beach (especially New Yorkers since our beach-weather season is so short)! But that great mood can quickly get ruined if you realize you forgot something important. Chances are you drove a bit to get to the lake, so turning around might not be an option.

Super Low Water Level at New Melones Lake in California
I am amazed at the water level at this lake that I fished recently. We have been experiencing high temperatures in the one hundreds with no rain in sight for the next couple of weeks. Let's pray for rain!
A paddleboard adventure gone wrong! We found leakage!
This video is incredibly emotional for me. I wasn't sure whether sharing it would help or make me feel more vulnerable. What started as a beautiful day on the lake took a turn when our paddle boards gave out on us. Mike, if you're watching, thank you for your kindness and willingness to help two women stranded on the water. We appreciate you. Cameras can be replaced. Boards can also be replaced. What matters is only that we are safe. Grateful for our life jackets, for Leah keeping me calm, and for new days. Music provided by Epidemic Sound
