Big fish hunt three

Postby Eric » September 3rd, 2008, 5:50 pm

Spent the holiday weekend fishing with Zee in in the hunt for some big fish. The hunt took us to a upper elevation lake.
We arrived a the trail head
Image
You ever try hiking up a trail with a 40 pound fishcat
Image
Zee almost at the lake
Image
Campsite
Image
Zee float tubing the inlet area. notice the shore fisherman. I was surprised how many people showed up over the weekend
Image
Lunch, Brookies sure make for some good lunch in the backcountry.
Image
The wind really picked up sat. night. We figured it was blowing 50 to 60 miles a hour at times. We heard a big
crack and this is what we saw in the morning.. Only about 20 foot away from r tents.
Image
We decided it was a good idea and pack it in and head over to Mammoth. Took a couple of pictures of some Brookie fry. via Mark style
Image
Tubed Upper twins for just a couple of fish( big winds made for a very hard day of fishing) water fall by twin lakes
Image
Spent a little bit of time at the creek Monday afternoon.
Image
The highlight of my weekend
Image
All in all a great weekend of fishing. Zee thanks for sharing such a great weekend with me.

Arrrrgggg! Those poor Brookies! :o :o :o

Oh well, someone told me you are supposed to toss those puppies, at least they went to good use!

Nice catch there Eric, But, I am sure that you did not outdo Zee! :mrgreen:

Thanks for sharing,
Bob

Eric,
Sounds like a great weekend. I heard it was windy in the Sierra's this weekend. How come you didn't get Zee to carry that float tube :lol: .

Mike I did but it still hurts after pulling streamers all day.. I don't seem to have the problem when fishing creeks and streams all day. It sucks getting older :(
