Well I hope I am not butting in, but I am excited about going. I am going to go up to the area on Thursday and do a little fishing before.

I look forward to seeing you guys.

A little Green Creek info.

It was beautiful coming out Monday morning. Mariposa Lilies, Mule Ears, and Wild Iris are on display. Green Creek is starting to drop in volume but still at its banks in the meadow area. It is gin clear. Be careful if you wade. The meadow area is wet. Think about mosquitoes. We were up high in the back country and the shallow still water was still freezing at night; few mosquitoes. Some on the hike out.

Starting past Dynamo Pond you will see spur roads heading to treed areas and dispersed camping along the creek. Some are difficult to see if they are occupied without driving in. The end of the road has a few summer cabins, the Green Creek Trailhead for the Hoover, and Green Creek Campground.

Here are a couple long distance shots of the area along Green Creek. One is a telephoto shot of the meadow area and dispersed camping below the campground. The other is a shot from up high looking down on Green Lake and the Green Creek drainage. Notice the impressive lateral moraines on both sides of the lower canyon.

A short way up the Green Creek Trail (3 or 4 miles and not much elevation gain) is Green Lake. Pretty easy flyfishing for trout up to a foot, some larger in a classic Sierra setting. No permits or registration is required for day use into the Hoover Wilderness.

Looking forward to seeing everyone there. Figure arriving friday afternoon.

[jcbrandon]

I plan to arrive around midday on Friday. I'll stop at the Bridgeport Ranger Station for a fire permit. Look for a silver quadcab Dodge truck with Nevada plates reading NVYACHT.
