I hiked to Island and Twin Lakes this week. They are a few miles beyond Wrights Lake in Desolation Wilderness. I went mostly to hike but I thought I could get some photos and maybe some fish. Beautiful alpine areas and a nice place to hike. Given the easy access I would expect it to be a little more over run with people but maybe I need to go back on the weekend for that. I did get some photos but it appeared to me they were in the process of eradicating the fish from the lakes. I saw what appeared to be a government issue net with a few small fish in it. I have seen this in Sierra lakes before and I think they are trying to restore the red legged frog. I saw someone coming down from a nearby lake and they said they caught fish so maybe I will go there next time.


I bought an over under dome and took this shot. Could be useful for fish shots but we'll see.


Water is pouring out of everywhere right now.


Nice clear pool.

Net at the lake outlet with a couple of fish in it.


I love the color of beer. And almost everything else about it.
