Another 2 weeks in Paradise...

Just finished another 2 weeks in God's country at Silver Lake...
The trip started off Cold and WINDY with Lots of water in the lake...The lake level was pretty maxed out and almost touching the asphalt...in some spots it was seeping up on the other side of the road through the water table...
Did I say it was COLD AND WINDY...LOL...!!!
The winds were gusting so High that I had to add extra ropes to each corner of the tent and popup and a few center pole supports too...
Mother Nature was really showing her strength...the lake was totally unfishable!

Birds...

Lots of Red breasted Robins, Yellow Tanagers, lots of arguments among the nesting Black Birds, beautiful little Chikadees, and Blue Jays and a few woodpeckers too...

Bald Eagle...

The Bald Eagle seems to be the new resident since I only saw the Osprey once this trip...

Awesome report and photos. At least the weird weather is keeping the summer crowds down. I'm hoping to get up there in the fall. Thanks for the tackle notes. The Hookup baits work great for me in the harbors so now I'm gonna have to get some little ones for trout!

I wish I could have made the trip up there and fished with you. Beautiful pics with some great catches. I've had luck with the HUBs in the Sierras but it's not as consistent as you are having. I'll have to pick your brain the next time I see you.
