Haven't posted in a while... I was finally able to get out fishing this past weekend. I went with a friend and his daughter to a "nearby" river (the Kern) for a little climbing and fishing. Spent Sunday fishing a small creek feeding the main river. We have had prodigious amounts of rainfall this year and the "creek" was quite impressive. Nonetheless, I was able to coax out several small rainbows from the deep pools (Czech nymphs and various beadheads).
It looks like there is going to be a LOT of water for many California streams and rivers this year. The Lower Owens is already at summer flows (almost two months early). I never thought that I would say that I can't wait for autumn so that I can fish (I know that there ARE other rivers in Cali...but the Low O is my fav). Hope that everyone else is getting their fish on... Chris
