Went hiking out in Yosemite and Ansel Adams Wilderness September 2nd-the 7th and brought my fly rod with me. I didn't fish as much as I would like as our days were pretty long and exhausting and the lakes we ended up at were fairly windy. But I ended up catching rainbow trout and brook trout. Planning another trip back in a few years to spend more time fishing with shorter hikes between lakes and streams. Most everything I caught was on Stimulators, caught a few on damsel nymphs. Wish I had a brought smaller hopper patterns as the only ones I had were too big.

Wow, the beauty of that place is astounding.  Especially while I'm on the couch -- I better get out soon!  Pretty fish too -- thanks for sharing ;).
