A favorite spot of myself and friends is the wonderous hike from blackrock ranger station into the golden trout wilderness. Stopping at casa vieja meadow at 8300 feet to catch the little goldens out of nine mile creek two feet wide and just as deep. Then down following nine mile as it cascades its way down the mountain, pouring istelf into pools with skiddish fish swimming around looking for stone fly nymphs or the hatch of the day. The trees are as tall and green as the surroundings are beautiful. Then 5 or so miles down the ghost resort of Jordan hot spring. Cabins, corrals, cedars, and caddis flies. The hot spring has been a destination for travelers since who knows when the native people first discovered it. in the two mile stretch below the spring proper there are at least three other hot springs with temps hot enough to keep you out. Its this area from the hot spring south to kern where the action for golden trout truly begins. In the deep pools ive brought them out as big as thriteen inches, some , i believe they are considered volcanic goldens ( from volcano creek) are so vividly colored, so striking, so incredibly beautiful, its sometimes easy to admire them too long before returning them to there home. I plan some summer to follow nine mile creek all the way out to the forks of the kern...i believe its 16 miles from jordan to the river. Then as its time to go i look up nine mile, trying not to be intimidated by the 6 plus miles out with a gain of nearly 3000 ft of elevation, that trek can truly separate those who want from those who shouldn't have. Those who want can park at blackrock on a friday eve., hike to casa vieja in the twilight, camp, and go down the hill in the morning, fish and rest your muscles in the hot spring, fish some more ,explore, fish, sleep,awake hotspring for surise (i had the awesome experience of being in the hot spring late fall, early morning with the sun rising behind me as the almost full moon set in front of me, both in the sky at the same time, truly unforgetable)pack up camp, hump the hill and be back at your car by mid afternoon on sunday wishing for one more nice cast, one more pretty little fish, one more soothing dip....one more day off.C and R Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07698705908899178523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8948543638945312201.post-62497390462855998192012-08-29T04:18:28.773-07:002012-08-29T04:18:28.773-07:00Hi – Will you please post a link to your Blog at T...Hi – Will you please post a link to your Blog at The Bass Fishing Community?

My brother and son are both avid Bass fisherman. I understand the passion they have but I would rather spend all day stalking a native trout in a small stream and never catch it then sit in a boat and pull in Bass after Bass. The trout has become a true passion and borderline obsession for me. Evan after looking at pics of giant steelhead this little golden trout is a true trophy. Congrats. I hope to have a similar picture in my album as well.Danohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18296453741175610933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8948543638945312201.post-7740067135117943042010-12-14T20:33:48.436-08:002010-12-14T20:33:48.436-08:00I have also found a new way to keep my favorite ri...I have also found a new way to keep my favorite river beautiful.

This time I brought along a mask instead of rod and reel. I had a remarkable time swimming deep into pools where the trout did not seem to fear me at all. This resulted in me doing some underwater scounting of new fly fishing locations. I have to admit I found some incredible new holes abudant with trout. Now I keep a mask and flippers with my gear. If I cant beat I simply join them.
