Backpacking and Fly Fishing Tuolumne Meadows, Yosemite National Park
On this episode of Rigged 'N' Ready we take you backpacking and fly fishing along the Tuolumne River in Tuolumne Meadows, Yosemite National Park. Taken during the first week of September 2013, we spent 4 days and 3 nights in an out and back on the John Muir Trail, surrounded by the most amazing scenery, catching the most gorgeous fish on fly. The Sierra's, in our opinion, are the most beautiful mountain range in the entire United States and Yosemite National Park is an absolutely incredible place to spend a few nights in the wild.

Yosemite / Mammoth Visual Tour June 2016
My backpacking crew and I came out of the backcountry of the Golden Trout Wilderness a day early due to various obstacles as seen in my previous video. We made the best of it by taking a side trip through the Eastern Sierras and Yosemite. Here is a quick visual tour of our detour into the amazing beauty that is the Sierras.
Beautiful But Deadly Waters | Yosemite National Park
Safety: Water in Yosemite is incredibly beautiful, but can be powerful and deadly. Sixteen people died in Yosemite's creeks and rivers between 2002 and 2011. Yosemite Search and Rescue rangers share their knowledge of common mistakes and how to avoid them.
Yosemite National Park covers nearly 1,200 square miles of mountainous terrain in the Sierra Nevada of California. From high peaks and deep canyons to ancient forests and quiet meadows, the diversity of the world is on display here. At Yosemite you can see the tranquillity of the High Sierra, the power of glaciers, giant sequoia groves, thundering waterfalls, clear streams and much more. Designated a World Heritage Site in 1984, Yosemite is also home to hundreds of wildlife and plant species. Two Wild & Scenic Rivers, the Tuolumne and Merced rivers, begin in the park and flow west to the Central Valley. Visitors experience the park's 800 miles of hiking trails and 282 miles of road.
Visitors fall in love with the park's many waterfalls, specifically 2,425-foot Yosemite Falls that ranks as the tallest in North America, flowing down into the scenic Valley meadows. Hikers take notice of the enormous granite mountains from the 8,842-foot Half Dome to the 13,114-foot Mt. Lyell-Yosemite's tallest peak. Glaciers, which John Muir sought out in California as well as Alaska, add into the mix with the Maclure and Lyell still intact.
It is by far the grandest of all the special temples of Nature I was ever permitted to enter. —John Muir
Animals: Yosemite supports more than 400 species of vertebrates, including fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Overall, the park's widespread coniferous forests--with a relatively mild climate and a mixture of plant species--provide a lush habitat for animals to live. Wildlife species typically found include mule deer, black bear, bobcat, gray fox, mountain kingsnake, Gilbert's skink, white-headed woodpecker, brown creeper, spotted owl, and a wide variety of bat species. Black bears in Yosemite are active both day and night. Most bears that rely on natural food sources are active during the day. However, those that get food from people are often active at night, when they can quietly sneak around and grab unattended food.
Plants: Move up or down in elevation and feel as though you are in another park. Vegetation changes from oak woodlands to chaparral scrublands to lower montane to upper montane to subalpine to alpine. Those who step into the alpine zone can see krummholz whitebark pines and perhaps a western juniper or mountain hemlock. Scientists study many individual plants, including the black oak, to understand its future challenges.
TRAVEL & TOURISM
Yosemite is open all year, though some areas of the park are inaccessible by car from approximately November through May due to snow.
Distances and Driving Times From: San Francisco/Bay area (195 mi, 4-5 hours); Sacramento (176 mi, 4 hours); Reno & Lake Tahoe (June through October, conditions permitting, 218 mi, 5 hours/All year, 315 mi, 8 hours); Los Angeles area (313 mi, 6 hours); San Diego area (441 mi, 8 hours); Las Vegas (June through October, conditions permitting, 642 km, 8 hours / November through May, 797 km, 8-10 hours)
Drivers can enter Yosemite National Park by several routes:
From the West and Most Scenic: CA Hwy 140
This route is by far the most scenic drive into Yosemite National Park and the best way to go if you're visiting for the first time. It's open most of the time and passes through the towns of Mariposa and Fish Camp. It's also a popular route for people driving to Yosemite from the San Jose area.
From the West: CA Hwy 120
Open most any time, this route goes through Oakdale and Groveland and is often used by visitors from the San Francisco Bay area and northern California. It passes through fruit and almond orchards, small agricultural towns, fruit stands and ranches in the rolling foothills before ascending sharply up the Priest Grade to Big Oak Flat and the old gold mining town of Groveland.
From the South: CA Hwy 41
From US Hwy 99 at Fresno, Hwy 41 runs north and west toward Yosemite's South Entrance, which takes you through the towns of Oakhurst and Fish Camp and into the park near the Mariposa Grove of giant sequoias and Wawona.
From the East: CA Hwy 120 and Tioga Pass
To find out more about traveling this route, average opening and closing dates, check the guide to the Tioga Pass.
From the East: Other Mountain Passes
Other mountain passes that can get you across the Sierras near Yosemite include the Sonora Pass (CA Hwy 108), Monitor Pass (CA Hwy 89) and Ebbetts Pass (CA Hwy 4). Snow may also close these routes in winter, but they are sometimes open when Tioga Pass is still snow-clogged.

Trout Fishing Yosemite
Still too hot to hunt, so we thought we would try Yosemite. Took our first fly fishing lesson after a 20 minute walk down a 45% grade at 8,000 ft. The trip back worked up a sweat in spite of the cool temps. Not Shelly's cup of tea. I think I will try again on open water, bonefish maybe. Somewhere you can't get hung up...Still a good trip. 50 deg mornings, 75 deg evenings and tremendous scenery. Waterfalls everywhere.
Backpacking in Yosemite National Park | 7 Days in the Backcountry
This is a short edit documenting our 7 day backpacking trip through Yosemite National Park. Our hike started in Tuolumne Meadows at the Glen Aulin trail (02:35) and over the next seven days we hiked to McGee Lake (04:40), Tenaya Lake (09:47), Sunrise Lakes (12:56), Clouds Rest (15:00), John Muir Trail (17:05) and the Mist Trail (18:16). We ended our hike in Yosemite Valley.
During the week we experienced sun, rain, hail (graupel) and temps ranging from the low 20s to mid 70s.
Funniest video Fly Fishing Merced River, Yosemite, CA Jan 2012 Sony hx100v HD
This video is reminiscent to the movie The river runs through it except there were no trained actors. Troy who is my brother John's friend tagged along on our fishing trip to Merced River and landed his record trout that is almost 19 inches even though he fell in. The fishing was great near the bridge but pretty slow further downstream near camp areas. Although we didn't have much time to fish (about 4 hrs) but still enjoyed catching handful of trout. This river has a big potential to become an excellent trout fishery in my opinion that's if CA FG department takes care of it. The river was crystal clear and almost no silt deposit.

West Coast Road Trip Day 15: Epic Yosemite Fly Fishing!
Day 15 was one that I had been looking forward to for the entire trip. We were able to book a time with Tim to fly fish for wild rainbow and brown trout in a small creek at Yosemite. We knew that we were gonna be able to connect with fish, but we had no idea that Time would put us on over 60 bites! Enjoy the video and check out Tim's guide service if you are in Yosemite, it is definitely worth the money and time. Daniel and I would like to give a huge thank you to Tim for his amazing wealth of knowledge and his patient teaching abilities!
