Ken,
Elk hair caddis
Sierra Bright Dot (see my page on Han's site)
Smaller stuff...18-22 "olive" nymphs (I usually use an olive flashback
pheasant tail or something similar).
Midges (black, grey, olive)
caddis larvae (esp olive and light brown)
I do A LOT of nymphing.
I am not very familiar with Yosemite, but the above patterns should work
well around Mammoth. There are some neat lakes in the Eastern Sierra's not
far from where you'll be. A couple of hours hike (at about 10,500 ft) will
get you to some nice brookie spots.
Contact me off list if you would like any specifics.
Have fun!
Cheers,
Chris

At the end of next week I'm heading to Mammoth & Yosemite for our
family vacation. My brother works there and my dad's going to meet us
there. It will be my daughter's first trip to the mountains. Of course
I had to pick up a travel 4 wt to go on the trip with me!!
I'm reading my fishing yosemite/mammoth/sierra nevada books and
getting ready to crank out some flies. Anybody have any
recommendations?
Thanks,
Ken
