Dehli Dog- I used to snorkel long stretches of the Merced in the valley just cuz. There are, in fact, some large trout in there. Like a lot of big fish, they are few and far between.

Thanks John. I've fished Crescent Lake a couple times and caught a few 18-inch Grayling there.

the distance is limited by how much shooting line you can keep from getting tangled

Mojeed, although I admire your apparent skills at falconry, that is a shameful picture. To display your
bird's carcass online is very bad medicine. As you domesticated that raptor, so it was your responsibility.

Jim thanks for the East Walker beta it was a magical day for sure wish you were there to share the fun. I’ll be back down soon.
You are so welcome WTF. I am glad it worked out for you. Hopefully, we can fish either on the EW or the Truckee, soon. Cheers! Jim

For about an hour and a half it was just going off
Those are the parts of the days that make you feel special. Such a fun time to be on the water.
I had one of those at South Lake(Bishop) two weeks ago. From 2-4 it was game on. I'm pretty sure I could have hooked a cigarette butt to my jig and still been on fish. lol.

Have a good one G_Gnome! Just a heads up, with the warm weather, most of the freestone creeks and rivers are blown out. You will find something "tasty" I am sure. jim

So many pretty fish pictures!
Some spots are starting to get fishy already on the west side, I love fishing on drought years!
Half a dozen little browns and bows on a quick check of the NF Kings yesterday. All on dries.

Stimbo, we were thinking of starting on Parker Creek. Do you think 42 cfs is too high to fish it? Have you ever fished it? I have only hiked thru there a couple times and always saw a fair number of small browns so I thought it might be good because nobody talks about it and it takes walking a ways to get to it. Thanks for any info.

Hey Gnome, I drove by there yesterday on my way home from the East Walker. Rush Creek was flowing very high so I am guessing Parker is raging as well but I would think you could find some nice buckets and quiet water somewhere along that drainage. Parker and Walker Lakes are worth checking out. I have not fished Parker Creek recently.... Have fun! jim

Holy cow this thread is absolutely going OFF!
Nice work out there fellas. I have done zero fishin' since my Pyramid Trip sadly and its high time I get my tip wet. This thread was just the ticket to bring back the stoke.
Actually, come to think of it....I haven't been totally away from the water. Took my sons and their little cousins out "Frog Giggin'" two nights ago for their first time and my first time in 30 years. It felt stoic to be teaching them how to "spear hunt" like many fathers before me....felt like we were getting in touch with our native American ancestors when fathers taught sons spear-craft as a means of survival. We had a blast.

Any of you east side guys ever fished Green Creek? My favorite. The beaver ponds are numerous and the stream goes for miles. The road in is the crux. Long and rough.

Just found out I got a wife free weekend. Sounds like the perfect time to hit Laurel Lakes. Anyone one been up this year yet? Stimbo?
