8 Days on the Eastside (Sierras) PT & Son...

[planettrout]

Spent eight days with my son Michael and his girlfriend, Aimee in Bridgeport, CA. Between the three of us, we took over 1000 photos...part of it will go to a project for a website in San Francisco that Aimee is working on. Here are a few photos of our Trouting...I will put the patterns that slayed up in the Fly Tying section...



The view coming off the East Walker River in the evening...



Some of the small locals that inhabit the water this time of year...



One of the other lurking locals...



This one hopped on a Buffalo Jump #14 Attractor...



My son's Alpers Rainbow that he enticed with a Palinista...



Michael in the meadow section of the EW with a Brown that took a Silver Streak Variant...



Michael and Dad (PT), a bit further upstream with a Brown (one of many) that loved Simply Red...



PT with a Brown that took a Big Reedy in the white water, along the bank, on the upper right...



Michael with a Brown that took an Amber KF Guide Serendipity during the Baetis hatch...most people don't fish the Amber Caddis that are present and coming off sporadically at the same time...



Lower Hot Creek, before it flows into the Upper Owens River...

It was cold, windy and snowing on occasion. One of the BEST fly fishing trips I have been on with lots of fish to new patterns and a special time with my boy....

The weather in Bridgeport, CA was cold, windy and often snowy. We stayed at the Silver Maple Inn...Michael's girlfriend Aimee, came over from San Francisco with a load of camera equipment for a shoot she is doing on Michael and I for a SF Website. Most mornings, the vehicle looked like this:

Both my son and I are wearing Simms G3 Vests...He is wearing the older model and I treated myself to this one for the trip and upcoming ones. They must be broken in by wearing them. Off the rack, they are quite stiff...



They hold a load off stuff !!!
