Flyfishing on the Owens River

After an incredibly busy summer, we recently spent a weekend up by the Owens River and Mammoth to learn how to fly fish. What an incredible experience! Oddly enough, much of the land out there is owned by the City of Los Angeles and the LA Department of Water and Power. It's a strange feeling to be 5 hours away from Los Angeles but still be on city land.

We had an amazing guide for the weekend. Gary from Brock's Flyfishing Specialists is one of the most knowledgeable, friendly, and good hearted people we've ever met. He was an outstanding guide that knew the best parts of the Upper Owens River, and taught us some great fundamentals about casting and the art of fly fishing.

We caught and released a couple dozen rainbow and brown trout over the weekend, with perfect fall weather and incredibly scenic views. More pics on our flickr feed, and a video of our weekend above. We're already planning our next fly fishing adventure!
