Odonata,
Great story. I would love to hike into those lakes but with bad knees and prone to altitude sickness, I don't think so. I go to Shaver lake and get altitude sickness, kinda. I was raised at sea level and the first time I went to Tahoe, boy it hit me and hit me hard. Headaches, bloody noses and a miserable 4 days. There are a few customers that come into the store and talk about going fishing into the back country, like 11,300 ft. I like the sea level feelng. Before I moved from Monterey to Fresno, after I retired I fished 6 days a week around Moss landing and Pajaro Beaches. I also use to fish around the old sewer plant in Seaside and the beaches right over the hill from the Navy Postgraduate school. I've only been back a couple times in 16 years, I spend or spent most of my time running trips to Baja, Belize and CI. One of these days I'll get back over the hill and fish the Pajaro Area. Maybe I'll even try heading up to some of the small creeks around Huntington lake, and Wishon. I'm more into chasing carp in the lakes but with the hot weather and water releases for irrigation, the lakes and getting sucked dry.
