Fishing Around Yakima, Washington

We managed to get some fishing in and did it with the best Fishing Guide in the world, Gari's dad Jerry.  While we weren't fishing we were doing some sightseeing.  The new secret spot we went this year was Lost Lake.  We never would have found this place without our Guide!

The gorgeous Lost Lake.  We had fished at a previous spot this day and the wind was strong and cold.  Up here at Lost Lake the area is protected from the wind and it was nice and warm and still.  Perfect conditions.

 We spotted Jerry from across the lake, he was in the act of cleaning a nice Rainbow Trout.

Steve found a rock perch and makes a cast.

The air was very still and there were an abundance of large sized Dragonflys.   We managed to capture a picture of one floating by.  You may be able to see the monster at the center bottom of the frame.

No one knows what Steve is doing here.  One might guess he is trying to fall off a log and into the lake...

Gari found a little path to the water for a few casts.

 A couple of panoramas of Lost Lake before we move on...

 

Next stop, good ol' Dog Lake.  Jerry and Steve have their seats set up for some serious man fishing.

Steve has a small spoon in his hat.  Where did he get that spoon you ask?  Why up in a tree of course.  What was Steve doing up in a tree?  Oh, he was going after his Money Clip spoon after an errant cast, really errant.  The amazing thing is that he didn't fall from the tree and into the lake, now that would have been the money picture!

 Gari stands like a soldier and is the only fisher to land a fish at Dog Lake that day.

The cone on the south shore of Dog Lake.

Closer in on the cone.

 East end of the lake is the head water.

This is the nice Brook Trout that Gari caught at Dog Lake.  A nice large specimen for a Brookie.  Steve ate that tasty fish.
