High Altitude for Golden Trout
Date:
July 20, 2008
Notes:
On a trip to California, my dad, brother and I went up through the Whitney Portal to look for Golden Trout. We camped at Horseshoe Meadows at elevation 10,000 ft. It was a lot higher than Seattle at elevation 0 ft. I was breathing hard just opening a can of chili.
We hiked up along Cottonwood Creek. This small stream is full of Goldens, small but fiesty. Perfect for a 2 wt rod. Don't forget your mosquito repellant.
We all caught a few for photos and headed back for a well deserved cigar and celebretory beer.
