Eastern Sierras

[Aaron&Julie]

Those are some beautiful pictures, with great clarity, and it both looks and sounds like a great trip. Nice campsite, and view of the lake, too.

We went to surrounding areas, and over to Yosemite a few years back on our last great camping adventure. Your story and pics, made us "jones" to go again , ASAP, which will probably be next year, at the earliest.

I can totally relate to getting burned out on eating trout. As a young kid my Grand-dad, made me eat a lot of trout on camping trips to Idaho. His rationale, "You catch & keep it, you gotta be eating it". I/we live by that now with everything we keep, although we occasionally give some fish and other seafood away to family and friends.

On occasion, we fish in the winter at Lake Poway, since they stock quality trout. A great fight on light tackle, what we keep, we usually smoke, and there's one other method of cooking, which I find tolerable. Those trout tacos sounded pretty decent with all the ingredients and how the trout was cooked. But, if I never ate trout again, that would probably be too soon. In fresh water I'd rather eat catfish, crappie, bass, bluegill, etc. In salt water, I can think of probably 50 or more species of fish I'd rather eat, just off the top of my head.
