Back From the Woods

Last week, Tom Chandler asked Where readers were planning on fishing for the weekend, my response in the comments section was quite simple:

High Country. Golden Trout Wilderness and John Muir Wilderness for 4 days, catching (hopefully) about a bazillion of the worlds most beautiful trout, all likely under 12″.

Grab your backpack, it might be 105 degrees in the Southland, but its only 65 at 11,000 feet.

I couldn't have been more right. Still processing through the nearly 600 pictures taken, trying to sort out a few dozen worth posting, and the trip report is still in process. Perfect weather, perfect fish, perfect company.
