Got a window to hit the eastern sierra's today. The mountains were glorious as I popped over echo summit into the hope valley. I looked at the temp gauge and it was a balmy -2 right at Sorenson's about 7am. brrrr.... Lots and lots of snow. Myers looks buried. Haven't seen the mtn's like that in ages. Thank god.
As I made my way over to the East Walker I drove by a much fuller Topaz Lake and a nicely flowing West Walker. Make no mistake today was not an ideal day on the EW. It never got above 24 degrees and I can tell you I was all alone. But surprisingly I found some good water and some willing fish. Around 2pm got a really nice midge hatch where some small guys were sipping. So I tied on a griffith gnat and bam! Pretty fun to get some risers in the winter time. Nothing big but I can't complain.
If you got out an snowboarded or skied today I'm jealous. You probably made the right choice.
