High Eastern Sierra's

[cdevine]

A little post about a recent trip I took.

Backpacked into some high elevation lakes in the "EASTERN SIERRA" that ranged from 10,500- 11,500. It was a trip I was looking forward to all year. Something a little different than the normal stuff. The journey was a bear as I had to go over a 12k+ pass but well worth it. I did get a bout of AMS (altitude sickness) which knocked me on my rear for a little. Never had it before, but not fun. The fishing was incredible and the solitude of the hike was just what I needed.

All sorts of Goldens and hybrid versions.

I got to bring out the 3wt Reddington Butterstick with 6-7x which was a blast. So much to explore and so little time.

Any sort of gnat, ant, beetle, & mosquito pattern about #18-22 worked well.

If you have the itch get out there. Hard to put into words how beautiful the landscape is.

Hope everyone's summer is going well.
