Thanks Tom. East Walker. Streamers. Probably my largest brown hooked (not landed). I actually went where I told my family/friends I was going for once.

I may just dig up some audio equipment for the task. It would be fun to get a WAV file and if I do I will be sure to send it along for posting.

Bjorn: it is possible I won’t know where I’m headed until I get in the car tomorrow and get a few miles down the road.

Good luck with the road trip.

ssapes: I think Garrison Keillor added “Space exists so it doesn’t all happen to me”. Or something like that.

Extra points for quoting Underground Fave Keillor. Why not take a microphone & digital recorder next time?

Einstein said “The only reason for time is so that everything doesn’t happen at once.”

I think Garrison Keillor added “Space exists so it doesn’t all happen to me”. Or something like that.

The Fall River was beautiful and not too crowded over the weekend. In the evening there were monsters jumping after everything but my fly. Oh well. The paddle back in the dark was great as I was surrounded by bats and serenaded by the hooting of owls. No photographers tripping over each other for a picture, but I sure wish I had a tape recorder to capture the wonderful evening noise.

Tom, that was a joy to read.

I am pretty sure if I have some sort of accident on river, I will likely be stuck there for days as I tend to make up my mind where I’m going once I’m in the car and sometimes a bit later(which means any rescue parties would be looking on the wrong river or wrong access point). Right now I’m trying to figure out where to head tomorrow… I have a hall pass (at this point in my new career as Full Time Dad, that means the Grandparents are in town) and I have “options” for fisheries… it is possible I won’t know where I’m headed until I get in the car tomorrow and get a few miles down the road.

B-

SMJ: “That kind of thinking focuses me on a few spots on the Upper Sacramento that I know hold big trout, but can’t be fished well with streamer or nymphs.”Uh, can you be more specific?

I'd love to help, it's just that I don't want to.

John Soares: We managed to avoid the crowds; we saw just a handful of people on the Pacific Crest Trail, and only three vehicles went by our campsite perched on the spine of the Trinity Divide beside a dirt road.

Sounds nice, though I got the hammock up at Trout Underground/Man Cave World Headquarters, and that exerted a powerful draw - equal to that of the wilderness.

Tom, just blogged with pics about the three days of camping and hiking Steph, Molly, and I did near Gumboot Saddle just to the west of you. We managed to avoid the crowds; we saw just a handful of people on the Pacific Crest Trail, and only three vehicles went by our campsite perched on the spine of the Trinity Divide beside a dirt road.

Shows that people tend to herd in certain places. Lots of traffic on South Fork Road below Gumboot Lake.
