To all,Got back from the eastern Sierras last night. Camped out at Pleasant Valley Dam campsite Saturday night. Unfortunately I didn't zip up my tent well enough and the mosquitoes got in. After enduring a few hours of the kind of torture that every out door person is familiar with I turned on a flash light and instituted a reign of terror on the approximately two dozen bugs cowering near the top of the dome that few mosquitoes had ever experienced. With every stain of red blood [my own of course ] that smeared on the tent from their frail bodies my wrath grew more terrible.... The tent will never look the same. Other than that and having to get up twice in the middle of the night to re inflate my new air mattress it was an ok night. Fished the Owens River and a little stream flowing outa Yosemite with fair results small Brownies and Rainbows. But I spent a lotta time searching for new streams. Found an interesting little stream near Crowely. Ugly little stream with a trashy bottom and mostly flowing through a swamp [ fierce mosquitoes but there was no place left on my body that had not been bitten ]. It was about six or seven feet wide but deep and fast. It was loaded with browns and rainbows some decent size up to 14" all native. I had a field day as they fought over everything that I offered......At first due to lack of signs of any human intrusion and plentiful fish I thought that nobody fished there. Then I saw something I had never seen in all my years of fresh water fishin. A sparrow on the bank was trapped , tangled in some monofilament . It seemed none the worse for ware after I freed it.....Later on I saw a bait fisherman....I'da kicked his ass just on general principals but he wuz bigger than I.
