Hunting High Sierra trout ...
Unlike normal fishing that involves boats or staying relatively dry and still, these backcountry fish live in little creeks, shallow waters and spook REALLY easy. We spent a whole day around 9000-10,250ft bushwhacking, crawling, wading and stalking these guys just to take their picture.
All fish were caught on artificial barbless flies (that we tied ourselves!) and released so that they can tell their buddies how they got abducted by aliens.
