Notes

Took Lisa up here. Made the McCall (Lick Creek Rd) to Yellow Pine loop back to Cascade.
Sorta bounced upstream to Yellow Pine, stopping at likely spots with pool/run combinations. Saw a lot of great spots with very difficult access but worth it if you could manage the access.
Weather was great but a bit windy initially, tapered off as the day passed. Water was low and crystal clear. Fished many pools up to the runs. Caught most in the slack water after runs. Caught alot of brookies in the pocket water that were protected from the current by boulders.
Fishing definately improved as the afternoon waned and early evening began.
Great time.
Pine to Home 3.5 hrs.
