The Merced River originates in the Southeastern corner of Yosemite National Park. Its headwaters begin at 7900 feet at the Clarke Range. It flows over Nevada and Vernal Falls, and lastly, Illilouette Creek before she flows through the main Yosemite Valley. Then the Merced, picks up water from Tenaya, Yosemite, Bridalveil, and Pigeon Creeks near the end of the valley, and meeting up the water from Cascade Creek before the river flows through the Merced River Canyon and then outside the park. Its South and North Forks join it a few miles outside the park.

The Lower Merced is another river that can be drifted, water flow permitting, or walk & waded January through May.

Fishing Waters
From over 13,000 feet on the south side of Mt. Lyell, the Merced River gets off to an icy, cold start. Winding through ancient canyons, carved by glaciers from another age, the river ... moreflows through Yosemite National Park down to the Lake McClure Reservoir. Its journey includes snow-covered peaks, alpine and subalpine meadows and clear, fresh water lakes. Pristine and largely unaffected by outside influences, the South Fork of the river still boasts one of the few self-sustaining populations of rainbow, eastern brook and brown trout.
Outfitter
World class experiences in a world class location. We are passionate about guiding in Yosemite - fly fishing, hiking, majestic forests, and our surrounding waters! We explore and we ... morefly fish because the little voice that we hear, drives us into the most beautiful destination locations that the Sierra Nevada mountain range has to offer. Discover beautiful Yosemite National Park, it's hiking trails, it's fly fishing on the Merced, and the mighty Tuolumne rivers; or the seemingly endless Stanislaus river, and the stately Mokulmne river. We have a deep rooted love for Yosemite and it's surrounding areas, but this is only out done by sharing that passion for fly fishing and hiking with others, and watching our clients catch a sunset, a fish, a memory, and a passion for the outdoors!

I fished the Merced River many times over the past 20 years but have been absent for the last three or four years primarily because of wild fires in the fall, and the white water rafting in spring. I’m back in town (el portal,) for about a month and interested in hiring a guide for a few days. It seem unusual I haven’t seen a fisherman in the Merced river since arriving almost two weeks ago. Do you ... more guys have guides fishing the Yosemite/El Portal area this time of year ? If not are there any locations near by that’s worth trying. I’m a 69 year old very fit individual so hiking isn’t a issue. I’ve been fly fishing about 50 years and always appreciate learning. Unfortunately cell service is inconsistent here and only option is either email text messaging. My Email is, Redfish7@charter.net. Cell phone is 805 305-3169. Sincere thanks and hopeful we can hook up. Carl Alessandro
