Thanks for the report and photos! Looks like a fun trip. Nice to hear the bugs were mostly not an issue, too.

Good grief, I have now cancelled three trips to Pioneer Basin, the latest due to Covid and a 14 day family isolation. I sincerely hope I get to this area before I no longer am physically capable. So many great trip reports--your among them--tell me I that I must find a way.

I'm heading up on Thursday. One of those trips I keep meaning to do. Gathering beta on the conditions by reading trip reports.
I aborted a previous trip in Mid-July of the really big snow year (2016?) as the switchbacks above Ruby were sheet ice. I just spent the weekend skiing at Mammoth.

I guess I'll bring my fishing gear...

That is a very interesting looking fish. I suspect it is a redband/golden hybrid. Redbands were planted in a lot of places early on. I've seen lots of rainbow/golden hybrids and they typically look a bit different. But... golden hybrids can take on all sorts of looks.

It looks like another near miss as I was planning on driving up this afternoon for my permit tomorrow. $:\$
