ultralight setup: Daiwa Exceler with dogshit $12 AliExpress rod

my reasoning is I'd probably break a rod but not a reel and the 4 piece on AliExpress was cheaper (the rod kind of rattles but for the price I'll live with it)

I did however accidentally pick a 10lb braid so I only have like 110 yards with the leader.

Intended use is backpacking alpine lakes

is my trees curved stem a problem?

on another note this was originally a central leader tree but it got snapped off and it's kind of regrowing so I don't know what shape to put it in

would you pick fennel next to a roadway?

it's like 10 meters away from the road but I'm tempted to try it

thoughts about 2500 Daiwa regal on UL rod

I got this cheap AliExpress UL Rod because I'll be going backpacking and I was thinking of just reusing my 2500 reel on it.

However, my research said that my experience will be worse and I should probably get a dedicated 1000 size reel. Is it notably worse? will I actually run into any issues?

Thoughts?

- get a ~$80 reel like a regal or revros 1000

- get a budget reel like strikeforce 1000

- save money and stick with my 2500

I'm not really a "connoisseur" by any means, my most expensive piece of gear is the Daiwa regal. In other words, not really an expert on fishing gear.

suggested repair methods for this shoe?

it's just a hiking shoe/boot. I use it as a daily shoe because of good ankle support.

most of my old shoes have this hole so I figure I'll try fixing it this time.

Not sure what model or brand it is, size 8 not that it matters.

how the fuck are people getting co-ops?

I am essentially stuck; I've taken all the courses I need but I cannot graduate until I finish a capstone. I am not allowed to start a capstone before 3 co-op terms.

I have projects, but no experience so I cannot compete with anybody for jobs; every application asks you how many previous co-ops you have completed. Most people I talked to said they just AI to write the cover letters.

I think it just comes down to getting lucky, as my friend who also has no experience needed around 200 applications to get a co-op.

I wish they gave the option to remove the "co-op" designation from your degree in exchange for bypassing this requirement. The job market is bad, and they should re-consider this requirement.

Looking for alpine fishing lake hikes where my car won't get destroyed

I've been researching a good place to go backpacking with the following:

  • good view
  • normal SUV accessible
  • lake with fishing potential
  • high elevation gain (to deter crowds)
  • car won't get broken into (chilliwack)
  • bonus points for proximity to vancouver (optional)

So far, the best candidate I've found was Deeks & Brunswick Lake. I'm not sure if this is true, but my research says:

  • safe parking options (paid or elementary school)
  • mediocre fishing (idk if Brunswick has any fish)
  • very crowded in July - August

Any advice or insight would be appreciated.

Subreddit Rule stuff:
- searched on google, backroad map books, and a few forums
- am experienced hiker, capable of doing brunswick lake
