BELOW “After my brother Sheridan died, I was sifting through his stuff and came across these photos and placed them in a photo album. Sheridan was always the flyfisherman, I wasn’t. Regretfully, I have no idea where or when the pictures were taken. Sheridan died March 31, 1984 and I still miss him very much.” Photo: Michael Anderson “There were a lot of people dirtbagging then, but nobody fished except me and him. We’d fish the Merced and all the little creeks. There’s a series of deep pools below upper and lower Yosemite Falls. It was a pretty easy climb, so we’d fish them from a rappel. We caught some nice 14-inch rainbows that way that must have come over the falls.” —Yvon Chouinard THE FLYFISH JOURNAL 059
