.. this is NOT the Sierras....

We hit the 11,000 elevation yesterday for a little ff. It was nice and cool and started off very quiet.
We stayed about 4 hours and by the time we left, there was no place to park and it looked like every fishable spot on the shore was taken.
A storm was starting to move in and they hit hard and heavy there so we opted to leave.

Even with the wind at our backs, the Escapes held up to their names. Rowing was simple.

Here is just a few shots for you all.

... a nice albino... right down to the red eyes....

.... another one who forgot how to get away...

... cool shot of an underwater release...

Fourth of July fishing weekend.....

This past Fourth of July weekend was the first one in about twenty five years that I wasn't playing music; so we packed up and headed NORTH ….

A cold front came through hard and heavy that left us with temperatures in the highs fifties. Granted, we are use to the colder temps while at this special lake, but, that is in the fall! This has been an unusual start to the summer and these colder weather patterns have been putting the fish catching off ….



We were greeted by the locals …..



and some that looked like Aliens from a horror movie …..



but, there was this smell.........



Not sure what that was. Maybe "Home Cookin'" .

Stayed at Bob's cabin for the first two days (Thanks Bob, Irene and little Baxter)

Got some river fishing in ….



and a few on the lake ….







Even made it up to West Yellowstone



Bob and little grey Baxter came by the last night to say bye ….


The weekend was way tooooooo short …..
