Catch and release, artificial lures only, barbless hooks.

 

Sounds like I'll be catching my limit at Safeway instead. Sorry to keep askin questions but how worried should I be about bears up there

 

You should still fish though. Its really good. No need to worry about bears around there. They dont like the high desert. Theyre higher up in the trees. Plenty of coyotes though.

 

Cool. Thanks for the advice. Ive decided to run it as an out and back on the 6th I believe. I see everyone is getting ready to run Rubicon, but if your bored, trailhead at 8:30

 

If I can get Friday off, I might be interested in doing this run. Although, I haven't heard of this trail. Where is it? What type of terrain? I have a capable rig, but I'm not into body damage or breakage.

 

Ive never done it myself. But from all the reads, its fairly easy trail other than alot of small rocks with some side trails that have more challenging stuff. The trail is south east of tahoe. Im bringing the whole family and my wife has never wheeled so im not sure how well this will turn out. ie i could end up needing to bail or take easy ways in/out.
California Trails

 

I'm a maybe at this point, just need to see on work. I would bring my wife and our 13 year old daughter. Do you want to meet somewhere and caravan up there?

 

I intend to camp up there the night before.. Assuming my new tent arrives before then.. Lets see how it rolls early next week. Id be bringing wife and 3 kids, 8 10 and 13

 

Sounds good, I'll should have work figured out by then.

 

The loop of the trail that crosses to the hot springs side of the river has been unnecessarily closed for several years. Do not drive across the river - you could get ticketed and/or add fuel to the anti-access groups' firestorm against us. We don't need yet another trail closed, so don't do anything that'll give them reason to justify closing it.
