Fear No Trout
05-18-2007, 08:37 PM
Just returned from a 4 day trip from the Eastern Sierra.
1st stop was Manzanar where I checked in to see what was happening with the archelogical dig at Block 9. I was so amazed to hear that this garden and fish pond were not even visible until they started to dig.
Please read Carrie's thread on Manzanar and fishing.

Below while I was visiting the dig site at Block 9 I ran into an actual internee named Henry Nishi who lived in Block 14. Henry is also one of few internees who used to sneak out to go trout fish while he was there.

If you had read previous posts about my exhibit at Manzanar I have to give thanks to gentleman below, Ranger Mark Hacthman. He is one the two rangers that assited me in making my exhibit possible by spending over 12 hours of his time to set the exhibit up at Manzanar.
To show my appreciation I gave him a personal Fear No Trout guided trip at Crowley Lake. He had never been to Crowley and was totally amazed to the size and quality of fish that Crowley Lake has, not to mention the perch. Mark got his limit and several nice trout, one rainbow that measure 21" and a 22" cutthroat...Congratulations Mark!

Also during this time, I was able to assist a past client to a Fear No Trout "Perch Search"
Below we see Glenn Yamada and John Nakagawa both long time friends and fellow fishermen. Glenn, gave up a $2,000.00 fly fishing trip in Montana and opted to go on a trip to perch fish with FNT.

As you can see, he was not disappointed. We ended up catching 140 of those yummy little morsels. Glenn also prepared one thee best "tempura" style perch dinners I ever had. I also prepare my famous "Perch Tacos" as seen in previous posts.

Below we happened to run into six ladies in McGee Bay that I had guided in 2004. They were having a little difficulty so I put them on some nice trout in the 2-3 lbs range.

This entire week was a great start to the beginning of what I hope to be a great trout season.
