How have I missed this site for so long? Finally found a gang who shares my passion for solitude, altitude, and (often) not-so-selective fish. Tho I am from the SF bay area, the west slope Sierra holds my home waters, from Yosemite down to the San Joaquin River system. We are fortunate to have diversity here: you will find 'bows, browns, and, higher up, Brookies and the occasional Golden.

For my rigs, I alternate between a TFO 2 wt and a mid flex Orvis T3 4 wt. I'm getting reacquainted with my old Fenwick glass stick, tho, loving that noodle more and more.

I tie a bit and am into futzing with leader formulas: I'm hoping to learn lots from the smallstreams forum!

Ciao,
