Check out Eagle Lake 6/7/11

My first trip to Eagle Lake.  This place is worth fishing.  Andy thanks so much for taking me out and showing me yet another awesome Northern California fishery.  >>OPEN THIS TOO READ MORE AND SEE MORE

We caught some fish, big ones.  A couple of our rainbow trout pushed 24 inches.  Jumpers, runners, and heavy head shakers, these fish fought hard.

Two pigs in the pig pen.

Andys stoked

When we first started fishing i felt like I was on another continent.  The lake was low, lots of lava rock exposed up against the waters edge and unpleasant weather made for a unreal scene.  This high desert, natural lake is beautiful. 

We didn’t take our waders and rain gear off until we climbed into the tent.  We just stayed wet.  The fire battled hard, and we stood with it.  So fun!

 *** pmds hatched around 1.  Up until then we caught fish on a freestyle walker.  Bite ended when the flies started showing up on the service.  small brn leeches fished best when fish were not showing on the surface.
