I struggle to come up the severity of disappointment regarding the fall cover fail. I feel bad for the alienation and ridicule to come your way from almost every sierra angler and guide to see this cover, as I have been a fan and reader since inception. Best case it's ignorance and lack photography expertise oversight.
As you may or may not know, the cover is Hot Creek, one of the most hallowed stretches of river in the sierras, and probably the most pressured.
Where do I start?
It's a no wade river and the local community fiercely tries to protect it and keep invasive species out. Anyone wading is immediately, and often friendly, firmly "instructed" to exit the river.
The fisherman in the foreground is on the wrong side and it's not fished because you have to cross the river.
And the worst part, I don't even think these are real anglers, the size ratios are way off and unnatural. Nobody would ever stand in that section, or fish that bend from that side.
Wow, just wow. How it ought of looked.
