After initially giving up after losing access, I tried again after about 2 months, and low and behold the 2 step verification gave me my current phone number (as well as my primary email). Immediately signed in and now I'm back! LOL Not sure what google was doing. I am guessing it was a bug maybe? I don't know why it didn't update to my current phone number when I had did so for my primary gmail account a long while back. Anyway, very relieved. I will shut down the other channel in a few weeks. Thanks for your patience! 

I apologize for the long break, but I had lost my YouTube channel! Long story, but in a nutshell couldn't recover due an old phone number that was used for verification. The new channel is "Fishing With Drake". I will be posting videos twice a week on it all summer and into the fall. I already have a whole bunch lined up and will be busy making more in Idaho while working on the new nymphing instructional video.

I had a great day out on the water with Tim who is a great fly fisherman and knows Lake Crowley well. Without his help I would have been skunked, as were what looked like a lot of people that day. It is a whole different type of fishing for fish that are crusing the bottom for midges at 20-25' out on a large large.

I love Lake Crowley and will be back out again on it this fall.
