We took a little family get away to the mountains for the long Labor Day weekend and although it wasn't the focus of the trip I did manage to get a little fishing in. My little family and one of my buddies and his family headed north to our retreat up in the New Meadows area of Central Idaho. My buddy and I knew we wanted to get out at least once over the weekend so we snuck out Saturday morning before anyone else in the house was up and hit a nearby high elevation reservoir in my kayak.
I had never fished here and am not particularly a still water master but I have found that often when fishing these high elevation lakes you can't go wrong tying on a #10 olive woolly bugger. So that's what I did. It didn't take long to get into fish and although none were particularly large they provided a good bend to the rod. I am always surprised how hard still water fish pull when I do on occasion get out and fish them. Not much for pics on this outing since it was a short two hour jaunt but here are a couple of the specimen that came from the waters.
Fun to get out and do a little different kind of fishing than I usually do.
