High Country Golden Trout Adventure

[Bob Laskodi]

Chris and I just got back from a very nice high elevation golden trout adventure. WOWZERS, it was 100 degrees in the Owen Valley, and in the 60's above 10,000 feet! At night it dropped into the mid-30's! Too bad the cool temps didn't do much to hamper the local flying corps activities! We were applying bug dope every hour or so or else we'd be sucked dry
The golden trout fishing was incredible, and any properly presented dry fly rose the fish. They were quite spooky though, and we saw lotsa of tails swimming away from us!

Those are some incredible looking fish. I hope to get up to that area some day "hint hint Ed :D ". The colors are so vibrant, I can not wait to see them for myself.

That is some good stuff. I am headed to Twin Lakes in August and I am hoping there are some golden spots nearby. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Bob and Chris,

The high country is beautiful, especially with a small 3 weight rod.

We did some group pack trips out of Red's Meadow Pack Station near Mammoth Lakes.
