Yippee. The trout season opens in the eastern sierras this weekend. I'm looking forward to the big crowds, overcrowded roads, streamsides and boats on the water. Actually, it will be my 26th opening day in a row. I wouldn't miss it for the world. I love pounding those mountain creeks, slipping around in the ice and snow chasing stocked and holdover trout. I hope to see some of you there. Jim
