Early 2008 Rocks

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

January 2008

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

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.

Wild Trout Camp Fall 2007 Report

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

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

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.

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

End of April Update

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.
