TR Kibbie Lake 6/1-6/3

Managed to get the crew up to Kibbie Lake this weekend. Got to say I was impressed by such a nice lake for such a short hike. 80 degrees at the TH Friday, probably just as warm at the lake. Met a number of kayakers that had to pull out of descending Cherry Creek due to high runoff. No snow was seen anywhere near Kibbie. Just very pleasant weather with hordes of mosquitos in the evening. Fishing was good, but the trout seemed to be distracted by all the bugs in the water, so hits weren't as common as we would like. Nonetheless, my two novice trout fishermen were able to catch their first sierra trout. The trail to Kibbie had some deadfalls, but was easily passible. Here are a few photos:
