Also fished Hot Creek and the Lower Owens for wild browns. And stopped in at the Lone Pine cowboy film museum.

We stayed at the Arcularius Ranch (next to Alpers) on the Owens a couple of times. Fun fishing!

I miss snow so much I got up early and shoveled out the cars, walkways, and decks of the cabin. Then I got into the car and drove around just for the hell of it. Can't wait to get back to a real winter.

We cant have either. The Netherlands is condemned by its location to eternal "meh" type weather. No real summers, no real winters, an overdose of rain and too many cloudy days.. I love snow, especially the type you get in the alps, but we only get the slush type. The same with sunny days, its either way too much, or not quite enough.

Or maybe I'm typically dutch, and need to complain about everything...

HC Ranch is dry only. Off the ranch is nymphs, dries - as long as it's single artficlal barbless. Even on the LO while there was a big mayfly hatch no fish were rising.

There are no laws against wading, but most are against it as it is such a small creek. I did wade to cross then stuck to the bank.

Are you fishing in the tristate area?

But thanks for giving me "SanFo".

Now that is sad. Is that a World Series riot? We didn't used to do that.

Idiots.
