Aspen
This photo is from my archives taken about 3 years ago on the Eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada at Rush Creek. I just used my cybershot to snap this off so the quality is not as good as with my newer Nikon D200.
Rush Creek has many attachments for me. First it is where My Pop used to spend his summer’s as a youth fishing and hunting with his best friend Bill. Second I spent time a kid in the cabin’s there with my family and third I fly fished it as an adult. Autumn I believe is the most beautiful time of the year to visit. Summer crowds have slowed down with the kids back in School and all the fall colors of the aspens are turning into yellow, scarlet, orange and green. It’s as if rivers of color are flowing down the steep Eastern sloping into the valley floor. Spectacular! There are many places to visit from Rush Creek here all the way down to the bristle cone forest in Big Tree adjacent Bishop. Many rivers and lakes offer excellent fly fishing. The opportunities to hike and view spectacular scenery are countless! You can spend two weeks here and never see all the sights! I love this place and can’t wait to visit it again! Tight lines! PM
