Well, after finally getting settled in Fresno I have had a few opportunities to venture out and check out what the central valley has to offer. I have taken the advice of a few of you from a previous post of mine and checked a few places out.
Today I decided I would venture deep into the hills and fly fish at 9,500 feet ASL. Let me just say the hike in was a complete a$$ kicker! Over 1,000 feet of elevation change in less than two miles. But, after an hour and 45 minutes of sucking wind and cursing my decision, I finally made it to a fishing spot. The view alone was well worth the pain.
There were fish everywhere! Unfortunately though they were some picky eaters. I threw almost everything I had at them, and presented it to the best of my abilities. They would come screaming up from the depths making a b-line for my fly, then, all of a sudden at the last second they would turn away unbelievably quick. I can gladly say that it wasn't a day of a goose egg though.
