Mid-October Updates

Very little time for the digital realm but lots of time for the mountains and streams. Cool weather and even a storm event from several days back threw us a few curve balls (or snowballs even!) however the fishing has been good and bouncing back hard. We've had some neat moments as we flirted with the onset and the exit of the weather. For example, as the water was rising and getting discolored earlier this month, Norm Lamoreaux still put people on fish while doing a day on the Merced. Bernard is very happy to have spent time with members of his alma matter the Diablo Valley Fly Fisher club. This was the club that he called home as a kid back in Walnut Creek many many moons back. Currently, at Trout Camp, we are seeing changes daily as we approach our wrap-up. What is exciting is that the fishing has been improving. Fall is far from over and we are excited. Give us a shout for an update.

Mid-September Updates - That Falling Feeling

Fall seems to be kicking in as hot days have abated and upper elevation cooling (along with a few small storms) has set the stage for perfect trout temps. Stream levels remain excellent and the recent mini-storms have spiked a few but not in a significant way. The fish are digging it! All waters in the Merced, Kings and San Joaquin drainages that we are currently working are fishing well. Our Trout Camp begins this weekend and we can't be more excited. We stage this annual event out of Mono Hot Springs (See: http://monohotsprings.com) and encourage all to check in with us for more details. Best bet is to email us at sierraflyfisherhq(at)gmail.com or call 559-683-7664
