Fridays morning we all day hike down the canyon to Waterwheel Falls and back. Despite the drought and low flows all of the falls were beautiful and worth the work hiking in. While in the canyon we started hearing that there had been a body reported under the water at the base of Waterwheel Falls. We didn't see anything until later back at camp we saw the helo fly down canyon from the HSC and come out just a few minutes later. About an hour later the same copter came back with a cable hanging and again shortly after flew out with a body hanging underneath. It was a pretty solemn moment for everyone. Not too long after that an armed LEO came through the HSC camp interviewing everyone. Not much else to report. We did see some great water to fish and some very nice trout down in the canyon on our day hike but we didn't take our rods with us. Saturday morning we broke camp early and headed back to Tuolumne and onward to home.

A few more pics from the trip.
Not hardly anything about fly fishing. It's taken this long to get a post together because by the time I downloaded the pics I'm not very happy with them. Still figured I'd share with you all.
