Western Sierras

[Dryrod]

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#008000][size 3]Just got back from a trek to the western Sierras. After driving 60 miles on a windy canyon road I reached my destination of the South Fork of the Kings River. Fishing was good but the catching left a lot to be desired. Small wild bows were far and few between. Nobody was having a field day which some said was due to the 44º temps of the water. I found that dusk was the best time on the water as you could see the slurping going on. By the time I could react to my elk hair caddis being hit they were off and gone. 8"s was the going size. Here are some pictures of my trip into the canyon which ranged in altitude from 4 - 6000'. Decided to leave a day earlier as a storm was expected to hit the Sierras. I'd be in trouble not having any snow chains. BTW the picture of a big redwood roots shows how powerful the spring flows are to undermine a tree few hundred feet tall.
