A change of pace from Baja and La Jolla
Took some time off the salt water fishing action and spent two relaxing weeks in the Eastern Sierra Mountains at Virginia Lake and Lundy Lake area for some hiking and fishing.
Wow, what a change of pace and some incredible fishing. Of the seven days I fished, I averaged 15 to 20 Trout per day. All fish (with the exception of a selected few were released) The highlights were a 6.13#, and two 3.5 # trout at Virginia lake, and a 7.4# trout at Lundy Lake. Along with the fishing my wife and I went on some incredibly beautiful day hikes into the Sierras. The longest being a 13 mile trek. Now it time to hit La Jolla for some YT and maybe BFT. P.S. A speacial thanks to "EastLosYaker" for turning me on the Virginia Lake as a destination for trout fishing and camping Photo #1: Two 3.5 #Trout Photo #2: 6.13# Trout, Photo #3,4,5, 7.4# Trout |

Is Virginia Lake stocked from fish farms? Those fat and broken tails look like they are trophy fish purchased seasonally from a fish farm.
