Rush Creek between Silver and Grant, through meadow and willow.
Map by Bill Tipton, made for the Yosemite Gateway Chalet. For planning: carry a real map and check conditions before you go.
Between Silver and Grant lakes, Rush Creek runs through meadow and willow, with a mix of wild and planted trout. This section opens the Saturday before Memorial Day and closes September 30. Small nymphs and dries in the undercuts and riffles do the work.
