Santa Ana River Lakes

[DarkShadow]

I heard that General Santa Ana visited the Eastern Sierras, but that's neither here nor there.

I did visit the Eastern Sierras for VDay's weekend. This is what I encountered:

Sometimes I wonder how houses in the Mid West go for the same price as buying a Mini Cooper here out West. It's times like these that makes me understand why.

I was gonna post the 'trout in the sink' shot, but unfortunately I had to release all of them.

Maybe next time.

Perhaps a drive way shot too.

Awesome pictures! But where's all the snow?

Ah yes, the good ol' EBWONSC - great pattern! Bead head, parachute, or both?

[seal]

Tail gate shots is where the glory is at.

Nice brownies DS!

[DEVOREFLYER]

That lack of snow in the Sierra's does not bode well for the fishing outlook this summer. The White mountains and the Bristlecone pines are well worth a trip to see.

nice pics great shots

[troutdog]

Nice pics from up North, thanks for sharing the views....

Sweet photos DS!

[Marley]

Beautiful pictures, especially of those bristlecones. To put your hands on one and contemplate the global goings on as it sprouted and grew over the centuries is awe-inspiring. Kinda scary that you could get up there on Valentine's Day, though.
And nice feesh, too! I prefer the "just before release" shot of the angler holding the fish tightly with a terrycloth towel. That one brings a tear to my every time.

Great pics DS.

Fabulous photos DS I have some good ones too but don't know how to post them full frame. Photo bucket is not working for me any more .

OPF,

I'm using ImageShack which allows automatic resizing, so I'm not posting full 10 megapixel images on here and punking people for their bandwidth.

I'm sure PhotoBucket should have the same type of functionality.

Naw, they didn't eat the PowerBait™ or Rapalas™. I even tried a PowerMouse™.

I don't think there's trout there either.
