Brookie Bash XI
Brookies, Rainbows, Browns, Cutts and, yes, maybe
Goldens and a chance for The Sierra Grand Slam!
Brookies & Rookies were made for each other!
Probably as close to a guarantee for catching trout that there is. An absolute guarantee for a lot of fun (unless you’re a Brookie). Older (more experienced) members will assist the beginners until they too become Brookie bashers.
When: The back-country hike itself starts at 8:00 a.m., Saturday, July 12 from the trailhead at Mosquito Flats Campground (Elevation is 10,000 feet).
Where: Midway between Bishop and Mammoth on 395 is Rock Creek (Tom’s Place). Drive up (West) Rock Creek 10.7 miles until you can’t drive any more and you’re at Mosquito Flats Campground, park only in authorized spots.
The Trail: Good trail with Rock Creek on the left. Moderate elevation change. About 1 mile in is Heart Lake which looks like a good meeting point and is midway to Long Lake. We will pass or be near a half dozen named lakes and a bunch of smaller ponds plus connecting creeks.
Lodging, etc: Unknown but in Mammoth.
Pre-Trip: Wednesday, July 2, 7:00 pm, at Long Beach Lawn Bowling Club.
Prizes galore and honor beyond your wildest imagination. Don’t know yet what the contest will be but scores tabulated by the Official Tournament Scorer (Sadler) and the prizes awarded by the Official Tournament Chairman (Sadler). Rules by the Official Tournament Rules Committee (Sadler). Official Counter of Trout: Sadler.
