Re: Thru Hiking/Fishing the John Muir Trail (Part 2)
Hey Mav....largest trout I hooked or landed? Haha, I would say the lake to the southwest of Pinchot Pass (small, unnamed) was really good to us. The other would be Virginia. Derek hooked a beauty there and I stuck one that was very heavy and peeling line. Probably one of my biggest back-country fish........but I never saw it as it came off after 15 seconds or so.maverick wrote:By the way Ladd, what was the largest trout you all caught on this trip, and where?

Thank you so much for taking the time to post your photos and report. Such a great read.
I'm now trying to determine which picture captured the richest hue of red: (1) the alpenglow at lower palisades, (2) the markings on those beautiful fish, or (3) that poor soul's heels!

I'm still rather convinced that you can achieve more than you've ever dreamed of if you just lower your standards.

Great report Ladd. It is amazing to think about going on an adventure like this. I relate it to the thoughts of winning the lottery, but actually achievable. I may have to break it up, but I think it is important that I do this before I die.

Awesome trip report. Great pics of both fish and scenery. I bought that harrison map pack around 2008 I think so I hope my oppurtunity will come soon as well! Thanks for sharing.
