No bear boxes in Dusy.  KCNP requires bear cans there.

Response:

It’s a beautiful and enjoyable hike to do.  I did it several years ago and saw no bears.  I believe in some of the main places like Dusy, Leconte, Mcclure has bear boxes.  Though I remeber the mosquitos were a pain in the meadows, I think I did this in August or so.  As for fishing it was pretty good.  For flies I would take mosquitos as well as any flies which has a little red in it.  I believe somewhere I have a briefly written trip report.  Email me if you want it.

The last time that we did this route, we did it the other direction (South Lake to North Lake) and it was in May, so we were on X-C skis. No bears in sight. Climbing to Lamarck Col from the west was a job, then skiing down the east side was sheer panic. Good trip. An old guy needs some of that. —Bob Gross—

I plan to do it again this year…6 to 7 days; I’m older and less wiser. Have fun, Oscar

I ran into a very aggressive camp bear in Dusy Basin 3 years ago.  It has since been killed (or so I heard), but any area that popular is likely to be camp bear country–and you’ll be on the John Muir Freeway for much of the trip.  btw, KCNP requires storage in bear cans in Dusy Basin, so you’ll have to have a can unless you don’t camp in Dusy.

You can fly fish in many spots, the further you go NORTH or in ALTITUDE the better your chances of good fishing.   Try the Kern wilderness, the Big-Bear area and also the San-Bernardino Park system.

Question:

Early this year I had the opportunity to test Loomis rods I was impressed by the GLX and the GL3. Was seriously considering buying a Loomis until I discovered there guarantee policy. I then tested Sage and Orvis rods. My preference goes to the Sage VPS 7w 9 ft. (medium-fast action). This rod will be used for brook and brown trout, landlocked salmon and bass. My fly fishing is in rivers and lakes with nymphs, streamers, wet flies, bass bugs and dry flies. I am now using a Fenwick HMG 7w 8.6 ft for the same job. For windy conditions, heavy nymphs or for long distance casts this rod is lacks some strength or power. I would like to have your opinions and comments on the Sage VPS rod and/or on the end use.

Response:

Sage says the materials and action of their VPS series are the same as their old RPL rods (although the VPSs are now much cheaper, since they’re no longer "state of the art").  I have a 7wt 9ft RPL for steelhead and a 5wt 8.5ft RPL for trout.  They’re the best rods I’ve ever owned.  Assuming you prefer a medium-fast action–rather than the super fast actions being pushed by makers these days–you couldn’t do better than the VPS.  Have fun with it.

I paid a fair price to the dealer in my area that was most helpful.

Ya I’m here but after many years of intermittent fly fishing on west coast and back east in Ontario and Quebec, I modestly don’t feel I have the expertese to significantly contribute  to the body of knowledge in the literature and what is commonly known. That being the case, I peruse this UG occasionally to see if anything of note has been said. I am well tackled (no pun intended) but am a very unaccomplished tyer. I am no purist and do not practice C & R, primarily because my friends and I have been doing our own stocking for many years in lakes which do not permit natural reproduction of either specs or rb. Rarely do I meet an opportunity to use dries and we normally use nymphs and streamers, of which we have developed a few local patterns. I have my own ideas which I do not inflict on others, except I cast right, real left and preach this to anybody who will listen. And I’ve been using George’s stuff for many years, which I suppose will bring more brick-bats…..

Marcus writes: I have no idea how you reel in.  I fish mostly for bass and that’s probably what I’ll fish for with this rig, but I don’t know what I’d do if a bass took the popper.  How do you set the hook?  I assume you don’t snap the rod up the way you do with a spinning rod, so what do you do?  And reeling, do you reel the bass in by stripping line, or by using the reel?  What do you do if you’ve got a ton of line at your feet and a bass takes it?  Do you let him run while you reel it in or do you strip it in? No bait.  Just flies. Marcus

Bass have a fairly tough mouth.  Generally, move the rod through an arc parallel to the water surface while simultaneously giving a hard strip with your line hand.  Once, you feel the bass fighting and you’ve got all the slack out of the line between the rod tip and the fish. Give another firm pull and try to rip his lips off, this’ll set the hook.  The hardest part about fishing with a popper is pausing the 1/2 sec between when the bass smashes your popper and setting the hook.  If you jerk too soon you’ll pull the fly out of his mouth.  For me 99.5% of the time my reel is only used to store line.  I’ve been at this a few years and have caught a few fish, but I can count on one hand the # of times I’ve had the fight a LMB from the reel.  The Hawgs, 5 lbs and above, will sometimes pull enough line to get onto the reel but its rare.  I’ve tried to reel all the slack in just to fight fish from the reel and they throw the hook while I’m putzing around.  Poppers are usually only good early in the morning and right before sun down.  Most of my LMB are caught subsurface on Clousers, Wooly Buggers, or Dell’s Merkins (yeah, the saltwater permit fly).

I’d like to echo these questions with some of my own.  I’m just getting into fly fishing.  I am figuring out casting.  It’s hard, but not impossible. Books are okay for this, videos better.  Ha! I know the answer to #2, use the line that matches your rod.  If you have a 7 rod, use a 7 line.  As for weight forward, double taper, etc, I dunno.  I’m using weight forward since I hear it’s easier for beginners. I have no idea how you reel in.  I fish mostly for bass and that’s probably what I’ll fish for with this rig, but I don’t know what I’d do if a bass took the popper.  How do you set the hook?  I assume you don’t snap the rod up the way you do with a spinning rod, so what do you do?  And reeling, do you reel the bass in by stripping line, or by using the reel?  What do you do if you’ve got a ton of line at your feet and a bass takes it?  Do you let him run while you reel it in or do you strip it in?

Question:

The discussion on braided leaders has me interested to try them.  I’ve

known that Orvis sells them, and a recent peak at their catalogue features their braided leader system (which I gather is different from AirFlo).   I’m wondering if the leaders are truly braided all the way to the end of the tippet.  I get the impression (perhaps mistaken) that the Orvis braided leader system uses more conventional leader material for the tippets; that is normal unbraided monofilament.   If this is case,  I wonder how well these leaders help to reduce drag. One more question:  how well do the braided leaders cast?  The loops connecting all of the pieces of the Orvis braided system suggest to me that their leaders wouldn’t turnover very smoothly.  Is this the case? Any info would be of interest. Fred. My two cents:  I’ve used thr braided leaders (Orvis) for maybe 5-6 years and I love them.  I imagine you can get better fishing using conventional leaders precisely matched to any particular situation, but I think you can get more fishing using the braided ones, which is to say I spend more time fishing, and less time messing around with tackle.  The braided leaders are stronger and seem to be supple and light enough for my fishing, mostly small, spring creeks and rivers in the midwest, where stealth is a big concern.  If you get snagged, usually the tippet goes, which is easily replaced w/ conventional tippet material.  Sometimes the end knot goes, and then you just tie in another.  It saves for me what is a frustration of dealing with a tiny tangle of blood knots, which also have some windage, and constantly snag weeds, scum, whatever.  In any case, I think they’re worth a try.

Response:

I’m wondering if the leaders are truly braided all the way

to the end of the tippet. << There is no tippet supplied on any of the braided leaders I’ve tried (Orvis, Roman Moser and Airflo), you supply your own using loop to loop connection. Energy transfer seems more efficient, even with loop to loop connections from line to leader and leader to tippet, and results in terrific turnover. For dry fly fishing I use the Airflo intermediate leader, which floats just below the surface and provides more of a drag free drift. The sinking leaders are available in various sink rates and lengths making exact depth control possible. Since using these I’ve not had to use any additional weight to get my flies down to where they need to be. They do take a bit of adjustment, but once you get up a ways on the learning curve they really do make life easier. The Airflo PolyLeader is the latest stage of this development. With these the leader itself is only about 4′ long, but I’ve used tippets up to 15′ long on them with no problems. Fair winds and following seas, Pat in Pawtucket  RI

Paul, Along with the Musconetcong River, you may want to try the Pequest, Paulinskill, and Big Flatbrook in New Jersey.  However, you may want to drive the extra distance and fish such rivers as the Bushkill and Lackawaxen in Pennsylvania, as well as the Beaverkill, Esopus, and the East & West branches of the Delaware River in New York.

I am 15 years old and live in Princeton NJ. I just started Fly Fishing a year ago and have tried many a spots in this area. Right in Princeton is the Stoney Brook which is stocked with trout and other fish and is known to produce bass and perch. The Assunpink River (not lake) has alot of perch and Shad and has produced a few trout and bass for me. The Pequest and Flatbrook rivers are also very good for trout. But for bass fly I would recomend a spot that I found two years ago when I was a spin fisher. It is in the Delaware Raritan canal. IT is right by the main entrance to the Bulls Island Campground on the Delaware River. Its on the New Jersey side in case your confused.
