| 7/7-7/13 Sierra's and Yosemite
Still unpacking and looking for cameras but wanted to mention a few important tips for anyone heading up this weekend.
1. DEET...... you want it, you need it, you'll almost drink it !!! The skeeters are THICK and everywhere! Worst I have encountered up there.
2. SPF 4,000....... Weather is awesome but pretty warm.... abnormally warm this past week. 80+ in Yosemite and Mammoth lakes area and warmer in the valleys.
3. Water flow is high and faster than average from all the run- off. Yes, there is still plenty of snow up there in the upper elevations. Fishing creeks is a bit trickier..... look for the pools and slower water.
4. Bait..... nightcrawlers (usually in halves),P-Line has some new dough that worked great in the orange flavor* Powerbait*all the colors seemed to be working, Berkeley cricketts, salmon eggs*Balls of Fire
5. Lures.... Martin Panther*gold spinners with black bodies/yellow dots, hollograms and the yellow with red , the new Thomas Buoyant with red and yellow with dots worked killer on the lakes,
6. Flies.... I only had a few Wooly Buggers in brown and olive and they slayed them. Others were using Matukas and scoring as well
I'll post the whole trip report and pics later....
