I know her, but I think it belongs on the "what is mind" thread.

The lazy dayz of summer. With rising water temperatures and low water, it's time to head to the high country.

Yeah, they're great fighters. I have Orvis "tracking backing " on my reel that changes color every 25 yards. I had one run out all the fly line (100 feet) plus 100 yards of backing.

Raining like hell,so I went Brookie hunting.
Third cast with the new rod,a 16 inch native,on a grub.
I usually fly fish,but I went to a great creek with no room and I was hungry.

We did excellent in the quantity department, not so good on the quality, but great trip. Musta caught 100 fish between the two of us, biggest 14 inch(so 12 in reality) brown who at least had good color, but missed out on picture quality. Love it down there and at least got eyes on a monster. And we took a pic anyways.
Nice Brook Wilbeer.

Here's the son's lunch yesterday.
So that's my concept of what a rainbow looks like.
What is this--besides a diet lunch? Brook trout? (Also caught in an Emigrant Wilderness lake a few weeks ago.)

Nice Murcy. Think that bottom one is a Rainbow as well, but hard to tell.

Nice Carp BG.
Check out Tinemaha for Monster Carp that will make the ones above look like sardines.
I have been rather very busy as well at some very secret high spots the past five or so weeks. Lots and lots of very large Goldens (14-18") and monster Alvord Cuts (18-22") at locations I will never ever divulge.
The latest hook ups below.
Enjoy....

Hey Chief,
Those are some nice goldens!
I checked out Tinnemahah on my way back home last trip....I was bummed to see the sign saying that no wading is allowed. Actually the sign read "no waders allowed" but I don't think they mean it's OK to wet wade!

After trying for about 6 years (very sporadically of course), last week I finally caught one of the giant oio that cruise the flats not far from Diamond Head on Oahu. Can't tell from the photos but this fish was at least 10lbs and might have been much bigger. Like a different species compared to the bones we catch in the Caribbean (it actually is a different species, but you know what I mean)

BOB...
The DWP folks here in Bishop clearly indicated to me last year when I checked with them regarding just that issue, that they have NO qualms with "Wading" with Waders. They just do not want folks swimming, tubing, kayaking or "wet" wading in their birthday suites.
Bring your 6/7 Switch Rod cus you're gonna need it. There's a local gent that has been fly fishing for carp there and all up and down the Owens for the past 55 years told me a couple months back that his biggest carp hook ups have been there on the Northwest & NWeast ends (Stay away from all them spinner dudes on the South end along the dam). In the Fall when the water level is at it's lowest, you can actually walk out to the islands according to him.
It also holds some monster Browns and LMB's. FYI!

Thanks for the info Chief, that's good news. I'll have to check it out when it gets a little cooler.
I met a guy at Pyramid Lake, NV that lives in Bishop (his name was Bob) that liked to fly fish for carp and he told me he's caught some carp at Tinnemaha pushing 20 pounds.
Looks like good carp water to me at the north end like you said.

That's the Man I speak of BG. His last name begins with a K. He is a good friend and a top source of big fish beta throughout the Eastside. He grew up at Parchers.
I am actually off this Fri-Sat to a very isolated location at 11.6K' he mentioned for bigass Goldens. I have verified it with the current and the old CF&G Bios and their last surveys indicate 14-15" for the avg fish. That was over eight years ago. Oh man!

Hi Bob -
Big (#2) Crazy Charlie in rootbeer colors. Had some great shots with smaller flies the morning before and no interest. Tried the bigger fly and had a take on the first good shot.
