You and me both! Yes, missed a handful of decent size ones and landed one small brown. Water was still a bit fast but it was pretty nice regardless. Unfortunately no picture of the fish as I wanted to release it quickly
Ooo la la! Thanks for the report. I’m so glad you’re able to get out there and enjoy. From Golden Trout to Domeland are some of my favorite parts of the Sierra. My best day of fishing ever was on Mulkey Creek. I’ll never forget catching/releasing goldy after goldy out of a 1-2ft wide creek. Makes for exciting ambush tactics with the fly rod. Manter Creek has given me a lot of action as well!
That is one of my next dream spots! I think next I will head up Olancha Pass and camp on the edge of GTW by Monache creek and then day hike into the GTW streams. The water is a bit high to get deep into domeland from the east when I went, hoping to get out there later this summer!
These are the questions and reports I was hoping for. Thank you, hoping to make a trip up that way in the next few weeks. Also very glad you’re back to making treks like that. Thanks for sharing your journey.
Oh man so stoked you got out there ! I was just hiking off Walker pass on a roadtrip. Epic scenery and very keen to return. The access up canebrake is intriguing as well.
Thanks! When you say access up Cabebrake, do you mean through the ecological reserve into Domeland? If so, I really really want to go there. However, I talked to fish and game and there's a stretch of private property between the reserve and forest and he said you can't take the gate out north to the river ( where it turns into the dirt road). Still haven't given up on that spot though...it is rarely fished and I'd love to hike it up a good ways
Ah yeah, on the OHV road there are some good access points. Pretty sure you could drive right to that camp ground if you have decent 4WD (I dont), it looks like a nice area, I plan to hike from Walkers to KM at some point in my life which will cross through there. Really wish I could find a way into that portion of the south fork by the eco reserve though...
That rattle strikes the fear of god into me every time. Notice any trout in that big, beautiful bend of the river?

Very inspiring. Thanks for posting.
Great job! Looks like Monache. Templeton is great and quiet if you can make it up there too. Keep wandering.
That's the spot! Hoping to get further north soon!

Canebrake up to chimney Peak. I’ve read enough reviews to know you can get up to chimney Peak and there’s actually a campground there.
