How lucky you are to have such a river close by.

Thanks for sharing your wonderful photos!

learning curve moving to the mountains. So far, so good.

Want to come up and split some fire wood?

Too big for a bluegill. Bass?

Brook trout, it’s not colorful enough for a rainbow.

are I think, found at 5000 feet or higher. We are at 3100.

The middle fork of the Chowchilla River is close by, and my home is attacked by mayflies in the spring. Where there are mayflies (and caddis flies and stoneflies) there are trout. Trout are easily spooked, so it's cool that you got photos. Maybe Nessie there isn't spooked so easily. But a bear might be on alert if it reads posts on DU.
