One more cast...

Well many of you know, I did in-fact work at Parchers Resort this past summer with Ryguy (Ryan) and SierraSmitty (Jared). I dont want to recap the whole trip from June 1st... so I'll keep the commentary short. I fished South Lake all summer long, as well as Weir Pond and the Bishop Creek Canyon. Only ventured out of the canyon twice all summer to fish other waters (Convict and Buckley Ponds). Caught a ton and a half dinks, mess of 2-3 lb class Alpers, a little over 2 dozen 4 lb+ fish, a whole lot of Brookies and Browns, and enough memories and laughs to last a decade. Didnt do as much hiking as I would of liked too, but we did hike to Brown lake, and mistook it for Green lake HAHA. If anyone is familiar with South Lake, Ryguy and I climbed UP AND OVER the rockslide to the Tyee Lakes. Overall, I had a great time, met alot of great new friends and people in general, and OWNED/SLAYED/ KILLED EVERY TROUT IN SOUTH LAKE. hahahaha. The only bummer is that my camera broke 4/5 of way through the summer!!!! so, obviously there are missing Alper Pics... most fish released unless they were used to feed me =D .

Dont Shark me, I know these Pics are Repeats!

FIRST ALPER EVER! 4 LB SOLID!

This picture turned out great, too bad I have a point-and-shoot camera rather than an actual camera.

Thanks to all the cool people I've met this summer and for reading. If your considering going up to Parchers, stop thinking about it and just do it!

I know for a fact there are at least 5 picture-worthy fish that went un-pictured..sorry bout that.
Most fish caught on Powerworms and Minijigs.

Hey Jared,
YOUR FACE

Hey Jeff4321, What a great Summer you and Ryguy had. I know you must of worked very hard for SierraSmitty. But being able to fish all Summer up there has to be PRICELESS.:Envious: Thanks for the great photos. :Cool:

[SoCalGuy7]

A great summer you'll always remember!
You guys did the rockslide....?:Shocked: That must have been incredible. Did you hit up the waterfalls in the back of South lake?

Saw you two up there at the event, but never got a chance to meet you guys, maybe next time.
We're already thinking of coming up there next year...

Great pics!

Thanks for the pics bro.

I'm heading up to Bishop Creek at the end of this month, so it's reassuring to know there are some bigger fish in there.

[Trout-Slayer77]
