Re: 20 lakes basin
k.. you're in golden country. there's the next aim. Thinking you're like 6 miles from really nice areas to fish and they're probably iced out now.

Pray tell, what ever do you mean about not liking small, cupped, hand-trout pictures?Rockchucker wrote: What's wrong with my hand trout???
Seems way back when, in the days of yore, local English fisherman were both addled and confused about how big a trout would have to be, before they could proudly display it openly to others. (Let’s face it, unless we are talking bait or aquarium fodder, any really small fish caught, perhaps should be left un-shown?) The population, both the serf and lord anglers were bewildered. The wise king-at-the-time Richard, wanting to allay any and all doubts, stepped in and had manufactured small, cloth, trout-shaped patches…personal size charts to sew on…something to compare the size of trout to. FYI, This patch thing soon became universal law…everybody wore them, called them their Richard's.
Bottom line, if you subsequently catch a fish that is smaller than your Richard…
(Too much?)

Re: 20 lakes basin
I've been spoiled fishing goldens on the kern out of templton. I wanted to go to the lakes that contains goldens but the trail was snowed in, we potholed our way for awhile but trying to keep the status quo happy meant adapting. So we fished what we could.rlown wrote:k.. you're in golden country. there's the next aim. Thinking you're like 6 miles from really nice areas to fish and they're probably iced out now.

Re: 20 lakes basin
Thanks for your photos and trip report. That looks like a beautiful area. I've never been there but would like to go.
