Stealth Camera

In May of this year I purchased and install a StealthCam i590 on a tree facing our cabin. We have a water feature near the front entrance and suspected that wildlife had been using it in the evening to refresh themselves. Here are a few pictures we've captured worth posting. Most have been birds flying by, squirrels, and a raccoon.

Trout fishing opening weekend

Due to poor fishing last year we decided to take it slow and easy this year; opening day is the last Saturday in April. We started our trip Saturday morning, stopping in Bishop for breakfast. While driving north of Bishop on 395 we noticed numerous boats heading down the hill and commented to each other that it was weird; boats leaving early. Later we found out that there were 35 MPH winds on Lake Crowley Saturday morning making fishing all but impossible. We arrived at Wally's condo in Mammoth Lakes early Saturday afternoon, unpacked and settled in (taking it easy), and headed for Convict Lake which is nearby, for a late afternoon attempt at fishing; no luck. Sunday we headed north and checked out June Lake, Gull Lake and Virginia Lakes. Virginia Lakes were still iced over (ice fishing only). While talking with the owners of Big Rock Resort at June Lake (Stephanie was on the high school swim team with their daughter) we learned that a boat was available for the afternoon. We drove back to Mammoth Lakes to get our gear and have lunch. A few hours later we were fishing on June Lake. It took me 5 hours to catch my limit, nothing to brag about; all small fish. On the way back to the condo we discussed options... get a boat and fish Gull Lake Monday morning or possibly give Crowley Lake a try Monday and fish Gull Lake Tuesday morning. We optted for Crowley. We hit the lake a little after 6:00 AM and fished until 2:00 PM. On average fish at Crowley were bigger than last year and we came off the lake with full limits, not the least of which was a 5.25 lb brown trout caught by Wally; he out fished me that day. Our plan was to head out early Tuesday morning, get a boat and fish Gull Lake, but the weather, namely the wind had other ideas. The wind blew all night and into the morning so we looked at each other and said...better if we just head down the fill and get home early. All in all we had a very good trip. I smoked two large trout Friday and plan to enjoy them this weekend. Sorry... no pictures this trip.
