Last week the weather was so bad I could not get out on a favorite back woods trout pond. Headed up there tonight right after work for an evening session, little bit of a campout and dawn patrol the next day. Weather should be nice, looking forward to some great trout fishing.
Sunday, Don and I headed up to Meadows for the last day of boarding of 2009. Weather report called for rain below 5000′; a couple inches of snow above that. We got there to find lots of fresh snow; 2-6″ in many spots off of Cascade chair. Great runs off the cat track; not exactly … Read more
