I had to Google Goose Creek.... did you fish at the confluence? We explored the lower part of the S Fork (of the Smith). What a neat place! We got blanked big time but it was worth every cast.

@Ron, that's what we said about the color, we got 4 more that day in the mid teens that were all bright chrome also. the cell pic doesnt do it justice, its back/head and mouth are pretty inky black and blue.
was not expecting to get into any big fish, thats why i had light tackle on. i just let him run a bunch and kept him upstream in the current, he tired out in about 20 minutes. i normally would have let this fish go but i was fishing on a friends land and he was stocking the freezer so anything i caught went into the smoker or freezer.
btw, the s fork of the trinity is drier than it has ever been in almost 100 years of record keeping. scary low. there won't be many salmon left if their spawning banks are never submerged.
@WTF, fall is my favorite time to visit my buddy up there ;) just gotta keep your head down and mind your own p's and q's……….

BG: What are those "large SoCal reservoirs" in which you write? Is the fishing any good in the winter?
The one's I fish the most are Lake Perris, Diamond Valley Reservoir, and Lake Skinner. Best in spring/summer/fall.

If those big Cali plans include high alpine Goldens let me know. I've fished a lake or two in the Sierras. Put Kirman Lake on your radar as well.

I was supposed to be hiking in for a day trip right now. Bishop is getting some serious thunderstorms though. Like it's actually raining in town. If they clear out by noon I'll get after it. If not there's always float tubing intake 2 or north lake.
