My wife and I were planning to go from Hetch Hetchy to Laurel Lake next weekend, then Vernon Lake, then maybe through Tiltil Valley and Rancheria back to the reservoir and then to the TH. Fishing is one of the top priorities. I'm concerned that Tiltil Valley might be too wet to get through right now. The reports say the snow level is well above 8000 feet right now, so now I'm wondering about going from Laurel Lake direct to Jack Main Canyon, then probably u-turn back the way we came. Is the fishing in JMC better than at Laurel and Vernon lakes? How about the scenery in JMC?
