The water is about 56 degrees so it’s cold enough to keep the trout fresh...if you put a healthy fish on a stringer they can often stay alive for an hour or more.

I fished Grant Lake this morning...it is a DWP reservoir so they change the water level during the summer...it’s as full as I’ve ever seen it...way up into the Willows on Rush Creek...I was able to kayak into waters that are usually inaccessible...but...I only caught two fish...LOL
I came back to Silver and had another 10 fish day...and set some more crawfish traps.
I also took a little trip up Reverse creek and it was a lot of work...there is so much water flowing down from Agnew lake and over Horsetail Falls.
Only a few fish seen and nothing caught...maybe later in the season when the flow slows down...
And that little rodent is a cousin of the Marmots that we see in the backcountry...they call it a Whistle Pig...

Slow fishing today...really baking hot sun until the wind machine kicked in around 2 pm...
Pretty uneventful day...although I got to watch the Osprey with a trout and getting it straight for the flight up to the cliff
It looked like about a 1 1/2 pounder
He looked like a helicopter that could barely take off.
Gorgeous sight...
Clouds have been building each night and thunderstorms are forecast to start Monday or Tuesday...
Did the boil tonight and fed 7...not WFO on the Dads but a two night soak got enough bugs for a fun dinner...well...fun for everyone but Mr Crawdad...
