The Tuolumne River has it's beginning in Tuolumne Meadow. At an elevation of approximately 8,600 ft., it is the largest sub-alpine meadow in the Sierra Nevada. The Tuolumne River is hidden within the tall grasses of Tuolumne Meadows.
Rainbow trout, brook trout, and brown trout inhabit this section of the river, with the brown trout going up to approximately 14 inches. Dry fly fishing is the preferred technique and most fun method in the meadow section. If the fish are not spooked they'll readily except most standard dry flies (size 16" - 22").
Matching the hatch is not necessary here, but at times the fish will become selective when there is a good hatch in progress. In the evenings, starting in June and running through early October, the fish will key on the pale morning dun hatch. Small yellow stoneflies (yellow salley's) also show themselves at this time of year. Several different species of caddisflies also inhabit this section of the river, and can generate alot of activity in the evenings.
