Synopsis

Stretching up the border of California the Eastern Sierra was a remote and desolate place; an unpainted canvas waiting to be filled with history. Thousands of creeks and lakes lay barren waiting to bring economic life to California. A few pioneers in the Inyo / Mono brought trout to these rugged mountains to satisfy an economic need and in doing so sparked the desire of sportsmen around the world. Trout are one of natures masterpieces. Beautiful in design and variety, their agility and strength make them worthy of the majestic Eastern Sierra Range The great mountains and these wonderful creatures deserve each other, and together they have made a history worth telling. From the humble beginnings in the 1870s to the equinox of balance between sport and conservation in the 1920s, the times and tales of these years represent a significant donation to California history that would also fill the desires of so many around the world.
