Flyfishing on the San Gabriel Update
My brother finally called. He had been out flyfishing on the San Gabriel on a Friday again; and he starts to relate the story about how many fish he caught on his new 3 weight rod. “I was standing on this big boulder when I hooked the monster, and the next thing I knew, it had pulled me in. A swan dive into the river!” I was surprised that he would admit that to even his own brother; so after a good belly laugh he continues. “But I still landed the fish!”
Face first into ice water and he still brings the fish to the net. I would have never thought that my baby brother would grow up to be such a fishing maniac.
Just got reports of some serious action on the lower Owens River over the weekend (up to 3lbs.). Sadly, the report was also of a very large area below the campground burned.

I heard a ski report from the Glass Creek Lodge the other day from the brother-in-law who was looking for access to the upper Owens around Alpers Ranch. Snow was still halfway up the back door, and he got his truck stuck in snow trying to get to the Lodge…I suggested a new sport to him: flyfishing while cross-country skiing….
