Today I bushwacked into a high lake in the White Cloud Mountains --
one that very, VERY few people get to because there's no trail and
there's a lot of climb in elevation over horrible deadfalls. The
fishing was ridiculous. I caught cutthroat up to 16" (averaging maybe
14") on nearly every cast. I must have caught 30 fish in an hour. It
didn't matter what fly I used (I used purple buggers and black beetle
dries). Presentation was irrelevant. The fish were literally fighting
over the fly right at my feet. Since there was absolutely no skill
required it soon got boring, but it was an experience.
Got pictures?
Nope. I was packing as light as possible. The lake isn't particularly
photogenic, anyway.
