The Horseshoe,In th Owens Gorge

Since I don't like the taste of fish, I have long since given up fishing. I have fished at the Horseshoe, and it's fun. The local guides charge for taking you there, but if you are a good fisherman, you really don't need one. I would not venture to this place--the combination of unfamiliar country, steep grades, and rattlers make this a risky proposition at best.

One of the local fishermen here catches 75 catch and release a day at the horseshoe. It is possibly the best flyfishing area in Eastern California. While I wouldn't count on the same results, you are sure to have a good time. Some of the pools here are 100' lond, 20'wide, and eight feet deep. I would suggest bringing a pair of waders,and check for current fishing regulations. Follow these regulations to the letter as Fish and Game here are tough.

I will draw a map, and scan it in to aid in locating this great fishing spot.
