Our annual trout camp begins soon and the browns are getting frisky. Give us a holler for the latest updates as well as booking availabilities. Here's a healthy west slope brown from just a few days ago.

We will be posting more reports and images as the season progresses. We anticipate stellar fishing.

Exciting news everyone (that will explain the lapse in entries!). We have not only been busy with guiding but are also opening a shop catering to fly fisher-folk. It is located just a few miles west of the Yosemite National Park boundary on hwy 140 directly across the street for the Merced River.

The number is 209-379-2140 This will be operating seasonally and will also serve as a base of operations for Sierra Fly Fisher. Give us a call or pop on in.

Did some drifts on the lower elevation waters and sampled stellar bows. Great times.

The year has started off with a bang. Richard Masino shows off one of several specimens we took at the Lower Kings in early January.

Late Fall Early Winter

noreply@blogger.com (Jimmie Morales) — Sun, 11 Nov 2007 20:24:00 +0000

Although gearing up for steelhead season and trout on some lower elevation waters, the brookies remain aggressive in the high Sierra lakes and the elements have yet to prevent us from our exploits. We also were proud to have provided service recently to a team of trout extremists (Dave, Joe, Bernard, Mikey, ). They needed to be dropped off with mountain bikes and fully loaded backpacks for a multi night back country trek of extreme proportions. We picked them up days later to an earful of tales of bears, bows and browns.

The annual Wild Trout Camp was one of the best we've had. Despite the dry year the fish made a spectacular showing. Client Irene Killian had a great day with specimens such as these beauties below. Please feel free to contact us asap about winter opportunities.

2007 Summer Report #2

noreply@blogger.com (Jimmie Morales) — Sun, 02 Sep 2007 05:16:00 +0000

The season progresses with levels continuing to drop and water temps on the rise. Despite this, the savvy angler will still have great days.

Client Lew Raker sampled some gems of the Sierra. High country treks are a smart call this year and the fish are plentiful and beautiful. The waters are cool and clear up high.

Southern California backcountry fanatic Bernard Yin spotted this guy chasing a 14 inch rainbow that was rising to his fly. Bernard switched to a streamer and on the third pass...well, we'll let the picture tell the story.

Thanks B for letting us be the first to post this.

2007 Summer Report #1

noreply@blogger.com (Jimmie Morales) — Tue, 10 Jul 2007 02:23:00 +0000

Despite unusually low precipitation from this past winter, our watersheds will keep producing. A careful selection of cool locations with ample flows and levels has had the last few weeks treating us to some great fish.

Ian Davies hooks up after a stealthy approach.

A recent extended jaunt to the area by Les Landau paid off in spades!

End of April Update

noreply@blogger.com (Jimmie Morales) — Mon, 30 Apr 2007 04:29:00 +0000

Be on the lookout as our dry year produces some unusually good fishing in places that are normally still roaring. Some small stream action already looking good as of opening day. Meanwhile, the Lower Kings is cranking 'em out. Check out these fine fish caught by Fred Ramirez and Jim Grave.

Late April Report 2007

noreply@blogger.com (Jimmie Morales) — Sun, 22 Apr 2007 23:31:00 +0000

It's late April with opening day right around the corner. Scouting some of our local waters have found that many will be In great shape for the opener. Many mid-level (4000ft.-6000ft.) streams will be at best flows come opening day. Recent cold spell has slowed the run-off on the upper Kings river. Salmon-fly hatch Is going strong. Lower Kings flows will not rise till mid-May.

Early 2007 Report

noreply@blogger.com (Jimmie Morales) — Mon, 05 Mar 2007 19:57:00 +0000

I am fishing up a storm. That perhaps best explains why it took so long to post an update. From here on out, I should have something fresh every couple of weeks or so. Things have been great! Pictured above is one of many large fish taken on the Lower Kings River. The angler is Stephen Forrest. As of early March, flows are now up to 650cfs. These flows should remain throughout March. The blue-winged-olive hatch is still coming off In the afternoons, but the majority of fish are being taken sub-surface. Steelheading on the lower Merced river remains very hit-and-miss. Recent storms may push more fish up into the system. The Upper Kings(above Pine Flat Reservoir) March Brown hatch should be in full swing by the 15th of the month. I still have some open dates between March 20th and Easter.
