I don't even know if Bob has been lurking lately, but I'm fishing
with him next week and I'll ask.


Please tell him for me that he has no excuse for missing the Clave. The
guy is retired, isn't he?

If Snoop shows up I promise to sing the theme song of Sponge Bob Square
Pants with him, in front of everyone.

Danl,

I'm going to give it a shot.
My Range Management Specialist friend from my ranching days is coming out
July 7th with his 2 sons for a backpack/fishing trip to my favorite alpine lake
in the Bighorns. I'm the guide. It's a killer hike but I hope to be in good
enough shape that I'll be able to make the drive to the clave.
We get back Sun. July 11th so I wouldn't be able to get on the road until
Mon. the 12th. In other words, I'd miss half the clave. It's a long drive for
4 days of fishing.
So, I'd be able to fish July 13th to the 17th. Will there be any of my clave
buddies there at that time?

Snoop

I look in from time to time but tend to blast through the posts and, I'm
sure, miss a lot of really good stuff:)
I'm really looking forward to fishing with you and Willi next week. I will
bring fine cigars!

.. Once again you've posted a fine report, sir. I'm surprised that the road
to
your favorite lakes was still closed, but that much snow can't be a bad
thing! Even so, it sounds like a great trip, and I'm glad that the Green
Machine is back in top form. The pictures on ABPF were nice too. #s 1
and
3 look very familiar, and if I'm right it's an area I'd like to explore,
especially back in a fair distance. Is #2 the Lyell fork?

Cheers,
Bill

Yep, #2 is the Lyell Fork. Great stream. I caught a really big (for the
Sierras) brookie in a trib about 1 mile up the meadow.

#1 and #3 are from a little valley quite a bit south of the Lyell fork. The
trailhead is at 10,300' and goes up from there. One of my favorite hikes.
Ummm....well, just about all hikes are my favorite hikes........... You
*are* going to the western clave this year, right?

wouldn't lose any time from beating up old men and baiting bears and riding
ATVs in the Illegal Zones and shootin up the campground while drunker than
Cooter Brown and all the other usual pastimes that we all so enjoy out West.
And its a damn good thing I did, too. My truck broke down in the midst of LA
rush hour traffic and the propane system gave out about halfway through the
extended weekend (Where's Hank Hill when ya need him?). All is repaired and
ready except my wallet, which took a substantial draining.

My son, Ryan , had tried flyfishing about five years ago and is not much
interested in fishing. However, once he stopped watching me and started
trying on his own, he did pretty darn well. We hiked the Lyell fork of the
Tuolumne on Friday. What a beautiful place. Lots of fish and stunning
scenery.

On Saturday we hiked into a high valley of many lakes interconnected by
small streams. The lake fishing was ok but the fish in the streams were
ravenous. We took turns catching brookies and rainbows from one tiny riffle
that could not have been 12 feet long or 8 feet wide. Ry musta caught 12 or
14 fish out of that riffle.

The road to my favorite set of high lakes was still closed from the late
spring snow. Maybe I'll go back later in the season.

I don't know if Ry is ready to give up his surfboard for a flyrod, but I
sure hope he can mix in a little time with the old man.

There's a few pics posted at ABPF.


I only got one of the pix, but it was enough to really catch the beauty
of the area.

10,300 feet? That IS a beautiful valley and I hope to get back there later
this year. As for the western clave, it's not in the budget this year, but
I do plan on treating myself to the 2005 version for my 40th birthday.

Cheers,
Bill

Yeah, I'm sure there will be some people there, Bob. Be sure you make it.

Oh, and bring some copies of your latest CD.
