Flyfishing on the San Gabriel Update
Tuesday, March 25th, 2008My 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.
