Hey Perry and Ed . Always good to take your kids fishing enjoy them while their young they grow up so fast. Irvin Lake is definitely on my list for some Southern Ca fishing. Has there ever been a yak tournament there? Perry do you take your yak there? good choice on the T&T 6wt.

Rickey,
The lake is actually very kayak friendly. There is a good amount of shore that is easy to launch from right next to the boat launch which you can also use. I've taken my kayak there several times, but tube it when I feel like fly fishing. As far as events go, They had a few events in the past that kayakers participated in and I think a few kayak and float tube events also. I think Mike King and/or Michael Klasno were involved with them or helped sponsor them ? to some point, but I don't really stay in touch with them so I don't know the extent they were involved or helped or sponsored or ?? I know Ocean Kayak and Mike King donated a kayak to a firemans event they held a few years back that I attended, but that's about it.

On another note, I saw the Double Haul in The Fall is now $80, but we're usually up there the week before or after. Do you think it's worth the 80 bones in your opinion?

Hey Perry,
I'll be helping with the Double Haul this year. It's the biggest round of prizes I've ever seen. A lot of good stuff.
