Flyfishing on the San Gabriel Update

Tuesday, March 25th, 2008

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.
