My wife has wanted to get out of the house, and my son has wanted to go fishing for something other than catfish, so we headed up to the mountains today for a couple of hours before he had to be to work.
We drove to a high elevation lake, and found lots of other people had the same idea.
After walking to the far side, we set up and threw out some worms and lures. It was really pretty slow, but we were there midday, so not a big surprise.
My son kept getting taps on a worm, but couldn't hook anything so downsized, and finally hooked a monster. It was all of about 4 inches long and the mouth faced downward, somewhat like a sucker. It was not a trout, and I didn't recognize it, so I'm hoping someone here might know what it is. He caught a second one, but they were the same size and species.
On a side note, the wildflowers were in full bloom, a riot of colors and shapes, well worth the drive even if we didn't get into fish.
