Took our scouts up to meadow lake for a camp out last night and got them out in the float tubes and pontoons. We had a lot of fun most of the boys caught a fish or two on the fly rods. We were using small leach patterns. We didn't get to fish this morning because we did a fifty mile bike ride. Well the boys did. I managed 20 miles and the other guys rotated with me. It was a fun weekend.

Did they get rid of those camp robbing bears up there?

I am glad to hear that other people make fishing with their scouts a priority. Sounds like a good place to take them. Was it well stocked?

It looks like the fish and game are still trying to catch the bears. I was surprised to see they had a bear trap set and baited sitting right in the camp ground. The camp ground was completely packed so we camped a couple miles down the road. The fish and game just stocked the lake with rainbows about a week a go so that is mostly what we caught. But we did catch a couple of cutthroats that were about 12'' and had bright red bellys. They were some of the most beautiful cuttys I have seen.

On the bears I camped up there last tues night and talked to the host, apparently they have had a bad bear prob this season. Last week he said that it had been 8 days since he had seen one but he had been seeing them about every other day all summer.
For the guys that fly fish and head up that way, plan atleast an hour on birch creek its worth the stop. Had a 100+ fish day up there last tues afternoon.
