Since I had a week off from work, I took my yearly pilgrimage to the east slope of the Sierra for some fly-fishing. Usually the weather is much colder, more inclement and just plain nasty. This year was an exception. It was clear blue skies, almost no wind and very spring-like. Heck, it almost got to 80 degrees in Bishop in the afternoons! I was hoping for the crummy kind of weather because that’s when the BWO tend to hatch in large numbers. Well…there was a hatch…of sorts…but not a lot of surface action. I did get into some fish each day, but almost all of them were on nymphs. Bleh! All the same, it was still good to get out and wet a line. Streams? The usual suspects, but as per my usual report methodology, no specifics or details. Here is a random sampling of photos of some of the trout I caught.
This 13 inch brown was my first fish of 2015. A nice way to start!
I caught some nice rainbows too.
This 16 inch brown liked my size 18 FBPT.
Sorry the pictures are not very good, I forgot to bring my regular camera so I had to use my iPhone. All the same, enjoy!
Cheers,
