I recently returned from an eight day outing in the Eastern Sierras, fly fishing the east Walker River and Hot Creek with my son Michael. Almost all of the other waters in the area were blown out by snow melt (this has been a marker year in CA)...here are a few pics. of the scenery...Link at the bottom takes one to more and the patterns and recipes that worked for us...
