Anaconda

Lots of small trout

Recommended Posts

The road up to the high country opened.

McKinley road to Wishon reservoir  (7,000 ft ) in central Calif. Sierra Nevada Mt.s.

(Courtright at 8,000 ft is still closed for a few more weeks)

I couldn’t find anybody who wanted to hit the road at 3:30 am so I went up by myself, and was lines out trolling by 6:15 am.

No size, mostly Rainbows between 11” and 17”, and one 16” German Brown.

The action was non stop, I boated 43 fish, and lost a dozen more by 11:00 am.

Same problem I have. Nobody wants to get up early to fish with the old man so I go solo 90% of the time. Been twice this year up north and biggest was 13" which is the norm for the lakes I fish.

I smoked the last few I caught so they will be my lunch tomorrow.

Give me some heads up and I may be able to join you!

You guys need to throw out invites the day before. I'd go if I lived nearby.

The lakes I usually fish are 2+ hours away.

It takes me 30 minuets to un load and get ready (no trailer, a truck top boat)

Dawn is about 5:30 AM, so I leave my house around 3:00 AM.

Being out on a scenic high-country lake at the crack of dawn is how I relax, it's what I love.

It’s a lot easier to jump out of bed at 2:30 am to go fishing than 6:00 am to go to work.

I am usually the only one on the lake until after 8 AM.
