This is Lake Mamie, located just above the town of Mammoth Lakes. When we pulled through town it was just before noon, 18ยบ F, snowing with a light breeze. The fishing was slow, but I was sorta glad since catching a fish would mean getting my hands wet and it was just too cold for that.
Being our 2nd trip this year, we stay up at June Lake (Gull Lake to be more precise) and drive around to different lakes, reservoirs and streams. The semi-annual trips was started years ago by my dad, uncle Dick (my mom's brother-in-law), Dick's brother Jim, and an old friend of theirs' Kenny.
For the fall trips we have been staying a large condo near the June Mountain Ski Resort on Gull Lake. You can see June Mountain way in the background, Gull Lake and the condo right behind me. I took this picture up on a ridge that sits north east. The large house that is in the lower right corner is owned by the 99¢ Store guy. Wait, here is a better picture...
It is the house on the left with the circular drive way... frigg'n huge!
4 great days just fishing, relaxing and taking in the great views.
This is of Big Virginia just north of Tioga Pass, East Gate; this is also one of my favorite styles of photographs... landscape with mirror image.
And a final picture of my dad and I up at Saddlebag Lake (Tioga Pass). Without him, Rick and I would never have fell in love with fishing and the great outdoors!
Thanks Dad!
