Man… hiking, climbing and fly fishing. My favorite things. This one really speaks to me. I’ve fished all over Yosemite, but nothing like this!

I would have never thought that there would be trout, there. I been to the park many times, Trout in Yousemite Falls the actual falls gee's I learn something new. Got April/ May 24 Fly Fisherman. Its kind of bitter sweet to see an article by Cathy and Barry Beck. With Cathy passing on a few weeks ago.

I reckon there is no way this won't be repeated at some point. Sunnyside Bench Regular route is a very mellow climb and you can also walk up the descent trail to get there (it was one of the first multipitch trad climbs I ever did). Canyoning the falls is more extreme, but it still gets done occasionally, so I find it very hard to believe that someone won't do this again. Something that I genuinely don't think will get repeated is the kayack descent of the middle falls that someone did a few, maybe 10 years back!
