I enjoyed fishin' the serrias, mammoth lakes, and surrounding
areas......It wasn't bad...esp for being so close to so cali
area......





You're right, that area has some good fishing ... as do several others
throughout the state. ( Not this time of year, Chuck, sorry )

California has nearly "everything" somewhere in the state, including
Truckee which is often the coldest spot in the lower 48.

I didn't really mean to stress the negative, rather the positive of todays
beautiful weather here ( I'm off to mow the lawn this afternoon in summer
weight nylon Patagonia pants and a Campmor fleece shirt Ken linked to
recently and I'm likely to be a bit too warm, if not simply perfect ;-)


I spent every hour I possibly could in the Sierras when I was young, hiking,
climbing, some fishing .... it IS the most beautiful and 'comfortable' range
in the world .. above timberline, and off the trails. I can see Yosemite
area peaks from my deck .... some days ... I'm a lucky guy to live in the
state
