Finally went camping this past weekend.. After talking to the park ranger and setting up the tent my girlfriend and I tried our luck fishing.. Fished the far side of Echo for about an hour and caught a few bass, used a few topwater lures, a popper, heddon, and a slow sinking big mouth. The little lady skunked me again, on tried and true nightcrawlers. Get yourself one of the worm threaders they sell at walmart and put the entire worm on the hook and leader. That setup always outfishes my lures..Score was 3-lures to 10-worms. She also caught a couple of 15+" trout and we had them for dinner. The bass were all about 10" and we tried to cook two of them but they were just too much trouble, and to tell the truth I didnt much for the white meat. Woke up the next day and drove over to eagle, saw three mule deer and a bunch of other critters. She did it again and caught 2 trout while I caught crawfish....There are a ton of crawfish in eagle..Will have them for dinner next time we go...Im waiting for film to get developed and will post pics soon...good luck
