Eastern Sierra Trout opener...
is this weekend.
My buddies and I have decided to drive up Wednesday and spend 2 nights in Bishop. I guess we will miss a lot of exitement and the big ol' drunken parties that go along with opening day. We'll also miss a lot of pressure and traffic and have the creeks mostly to ourselves.
My friend Mike retired last October, ran himself ragged for 4 months with his dad in the hospital and health care facilities until he passed. He's due for some R&R. Dennis works for a Defense Contractor and will be deployed to Afganistan in less than a month. We are all looking forward to 3 days of fishing the cold streams of the Eastern Sierras. Hopefully the trip will take their minds off the pressures of the real world.
I hope to be posting photos next weekend. Jim
PS. Good luck to all the California folks who are making the trip this weekend.
I'm either going to, coming from or thinking about fishing. Jim
