ABOUT OUR TRIP
In September 2023, our family spent 4 days / 3 nights #backpacking and #tenkara #flyfishing in the mountains and lakes at #Yosemite National Park, #TenLakes area. We started the trip at Ten Lakes Trailhead (similar to the Ten Lakes Trail found via AllTrails.com). We decided to camp at one of the larger lakes at the Ten Lakes Basin and found a choice spot right on a little rocky outcrop overlooking the entire lake.
On the second day we recovered from the hike the day before (my wife and me needed it!), explored the lake, set up our tenkara fly fishing rods for the first time and tried it out. We are first time anglers and thus this was the first time tenkara fly fishing too. But, we are “hooked” and this will definitely not be the last time we tenkara. We decided to hike to the upper lake at the base of Grand Mountain to fish on the third day. Once we got there it was just so peaceful we decided to enjoy the serenity of the lake instead. We did go tenkara fishing later that day at the lake we were camped at and we were not disappointed! In all we caught and released 11 trout. What an amazing introduction to tenkara fly fishing - thanks #TenkaraUSA! The last day was spent packing up, leaving no trace and hiking out.
-Total length: 18+ miles
-Total elevation gain: 4,372 ft.
-Peak: 9,675 ft.
-Average temperature: during the day it was between 64-67°f (approximately 18-20°C), but it definitely dropped in temperature during dusk/evening/overnight/early am with average temperatures in the mid 40s to low 50s (approximately 7-11°C). So definitely plan a proper clothing layer and sleep system for sure.
Huge thanks to our son (youtube.com/@seanlee8163?si=CCwXWvARqvvaTxez) for planning an awesome family trip - and truly carrying more than his own rig/equipment! Check out his YT channel for more epic views, trails and backpacking experiences in Yosemite, Sierra and Sequoia.

    This is absolutely gorgeous. Thank you for sharing. I will definitely try hiking this route with my family next year. Just a few questions. 1 when do you think it’s too cold to hike for the novice hikers? Like November through March? 2. Is it illegal to cook the fish and eat after catch? 3. Did you bring bear repellents?

    • @ProudPapaLee
      @ProudPapaLee 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks @dannykim9477! Glad you enjoyed it! My son (@seanlee8163) knows more about backpacking and hiking in Yosemite (and Sierra and Sequoia National Forests) than I do, but will try to answer your questions: 1. Yosemite remains open all year, but some roads and access points are closed for the winter due to weather/snow. It’s a good bet that your options for backpacking and camping will likewise be limited during this time. Best time is probably early spring and fall - we went in late September and the weather was perfect! (www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/winter.htm); 2. In terms of fishing regulations, there are limits to the number of fish you can possess on a daily basis and in some areas, all rainbow trout have a “catch and release” policy. See the link here for more info (www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/fishing.htm); 3. Bear spray / repellent is not permitted in Yosemite, but you must have bear canisters for your food. More helpful hints on dealing with bears at Yosemite can be found here - www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/scarebears.htm#:~:text=(Bear%20spray%2Fpepper%20spray%20is,food%20and%20leave%20the%20area. Hope this helps and definitely encourage you/your family to do this trip - it was amazing!

    The monument in this video was built by Colonel Kuser to honor NJ war veterans. A private citizen built this. The monument and entire park were then gifted to the people of NJ at Kusar’s death. 14,000 acres. Unfortunately, NJ let Kusar Mansion, also gifted to NJ, fall into disrepair. Sad. NJ should have leased the mansion out to a private company to operate a B&B. But then again, government can’t do anything right.

    @kevinhealey6540 ปีที่แล้ว

    When you get to your assignment put it in your subconscious that you want to do something for other people without it being known that you did it. A bombastic attitude will not help you out. In general best to say as little as possible. When you go to your assignment for the first three to six weeks, observe before you get into the swing of it. Never say that anyone is stupid even if the person is not there that you're saying it about. Not being so well educated is a sensitive issue with enlisted and they can sense that you feel that way and they won't help you out if you think that way about him or her. A good portion of the enlisted come from dysfunctional families. So try to make each person feel he or she is intelligent without saying it directly. Never make a snide remark. A sailor or fellow officer will realize you have positive attitude about them and will support you thereafter. One or two of the people is crazy and you have to identify them, and see the best way to handle that situation. Reading autobiographies of all time great officers will help you exceedingly. Especially if you read such books out loud to yourself.
