Hey ALL- long time no post from the STARS...Howstar and I ventured out of our local fishing areas to catch up on a little R&R, camping, and of course fishing in Sequoia National Forest; specifically King's Canyon. Neither of us had been fishing "AL Natuaral" before (meaning to a natural running river or stream with native fish) so we wondered what nature would have in store for us. We started off morning #1 using a few selective flys on our spinners with no luck the first 40 minutes or so. We took a break to set up camp and came back to a spot a little further "up stream" and of course I was the first to do the happy dance with my 8 inch native trout. Howstar was not too far behind with the second native catch a few minutes later. Over the weekend we fished up and down King's River both wading in the frigid water and from rocks and the shore. Howstar caught the only Rainbow between the two of us. Its colors were so bright and vivid-unlike the stockers we see at SARL or Irvine. All of our fish were CPR so that others will hopefully have the same opportunities we had. I have included some pictures for you!!! Enjoy.....We did!!!!
