  Wyoming Golden Trout Horse Pack Trip: On Trail dates 31-July to 6-August 

  Return to the Days of Youth. Searching for Ultra-Large Golden_Trout. .

   Minimum Rods required 4

  Cost is $500 per person, not including airfare or driving time. Bob Porter is the contact  for additional information. He can be reached at 650-367-7628, email porterrecording@comcast.net 
  

  Bob Porter was born and raised in Wyoming ranch country near the town of Pinedale. As a kid he fondly remembers the bareback horse rides up the Rocky Mountain valleys to the top of the world. There along the continental divide he plied the alpine lakes with a cane rod and worms extracting 20” trout in liquid gold colors. Ahhh. . . Those are the days of remembered youth we all wish to repeat!
  

  Now Bob has proposed a return trip to re-visit those exciting, storied waters, of his youth. As planned it would be a 12 mile horseback ride, with saddle this time, up to a Wyoming lake at 10,800ft without a specific name. It should take about 6 hours by horse.  So one day inward, one day outward, and several days fly fishing and day hiking around streams and other nearby lakes makes it a  7 day high altitude camping trip. The flowers and scenery will be breath taking as one looks westward over the valley towards Pinedale. The cost of the horses is  $500 for each person if at least four people sign up. The horses would carry 70 lbs of gear for each person and provide a ride up to the lake. The horses would return in roughly a week to take us back down to the cars.  In-between, it is one-on-one with wiley mountain trout found in streams and nearby lakes. Success is defined by the scenery and stories to be told. Actual catching of fish depends on Bob’s memory, the weather, physical fitness level, and the skill of the fly fisherperson versus the size of the prize. Travel options to Wyoming, camping advice and extra equipment to borrow will be available and subjects of discussion prior to the trip.
  

  The horse reservation dates are fixed as above. Contact Bob or Gary if you are interested.

  The Truckee River will be on Saturday September 21, 2019 this year.  This will be prime time as the water starts cooling down a bit and the summer crowds are gone.

  
  

  We have two spacious houses available from members that can accommodate about 15 people on Friday and Saturday night.

  
  

  Many of us will arrive on Friday, but (very) early risers can drive up early on Saturday morning. Detailed logistics will follow as we get closer.  

  
  

  On Friday night we are welcome at EJ's place for food and drinks and on Saturday we will have a pot-luck at Rich Slade's house. The houses are a mile apart and situated in Tahoe Donner. The club will supply  the 3 B's, burgers, brats and beer. The members supply the salad, appetizers and deserts. 

  For connaisseurs Rich might prepare some pepper tequila shots.

  The Truckee and the Little Truckee are great rivers this time of year. Rods are typically 3-5 wt. Nymphing is consistently good, dries and streamers can be great or nothing depending on the day. Be prepared for all conditions. 

  Cost: $50
