Two More from the NE End of Kidney Lake

After receiving complaints about my awful ipod photo posted yesterday, I decided to post an equally inedible looking trout photo today taken with my GPS.  I guess I had better take my real camera with me in future.  Anyway, they were delicious!!!  Gotta love having trout stocked lakes close enough to ride the bike to in less than half an hour.

AND, that's a dinner plate...  NOT a side plate.  :)

Kidney Lake Coughs Up Another Four Cutthroat Trout

Straight off to Kidney Lake at 4:00 today.  The bite was on five minutes after I got there and it lasted for about twenty minutes, after which I fished an empty lake until 7:00.  I rushed them in the door and Vicki had them in a buttery frying pan within ten minutes.  There really is nothing like a fresh trout!

What a way to finish a work day.

My Boomerang WILL Come Back!

We fished the back shore of Boomerang Lake yesterday.  A left turn up a spur trail right before the usual left turn at "Intersection B" takes you right around the back.  It's an interesting view around there: groups have felled many small trees to improve access for quads and other four wheeled vehicles.  (We encountered a truck as we left that had parked to camp for the night.  I would have thought that terrain like that was impossible to travel for a truck).  Anyway, here's the route:

We found a few good fishing spots.  It was generally pretty slow although we both got bites on and off.  Paul pulled in a small trout that he intended to throw back, but it joined the choir invisible before he managed to get it wet.  His second catch was spectacular:  a beautiful full-bodied cutthroat trout of about 2.5 to 3 lbs.  Caught on the amazing "North Bend Super Duper" lure.  I've had great luck with those.  That was it today... just two trout.

Nice Fish!!
