Convict
 

What a beautiful lake.
Fishing was SLOW.
Only 3 rainbows and one brown
Silver this evening and little Gull lake tomorrow?

Colors
 

The Aspen trees are starting to think about changing colors🙏

Jim, those pics don't get old. When it comes to eating, I'll take those crawdads over trout any day. I'm certain you'll find the honey hole soon and land some big ones. I really like that lure you're using in that trout's mouth :luxhello:

Roby
 

Around here we just call the Thomas buoyant the Roby Special����

More Dads?
 

There were some big boys in the mix with these beautiful blue markings.
One last soak to bring a bunch back to PV for a big neighborhood Boil.

Sunset
 

Sunset at Silver Lake
I?m bummed. It?s almost over. Just a couple more nights.🥲

Old man
 

Found the Old man in the cliffs above Silver

Great Season
 

So sad to see another Great Eastern Sierra season come to an end for me.
2 challenging weeks of weather and snow in May at Silver and Mammoth with some great fishing, then a quiet 2 weeks in June with more great fishing at Silver lake.
In July we got into Trumbull campground the day it opened and the snow had melted enough, fishing at Virginia lake produced lots of 2lbs to 5+ rainbows and lots of brookies at Trumbull lake for two weeks.
And finally these last two weeks at Silver again.
What a fantastic season with all its water and weather challenges.:notworthy:

It really was a special season with all that water and snow. It's great to be able to fish for trout and have a snowball fight in the same day, while wearing shorts and a t-shirt. I hope we have another great snow season :luxhello:

Gone
 

Wow
Summer disappeared in just a couple of days.
Thursday and Friday nites were pretty cold. Right around 30 degrees.
As I left Mammoth I hit the windshield spray and wipers to clean some of the bugs off. Instant ice covered the windshield and I couldn?t see a thing :eek:
Luckily it was a wide shoulder so I pulled over and got out a credit card to scrape the ice LOL
It went from the 30s to the 50s as soon I I dropped into Bishop.
As usual no traffic on Saturday until I got into town.

I bought a small 8x10 canvas tarp....
 

Well worth the money. I keep my cab covered at all times. It's big enough to cover all the windows. Keeping sunlight off the upholstery and it's nice having a clean windshield when ever I drive some where. Just replaced all my cab lights and with new paint. Seagull shit free now.
