We are heading up to Silver Lake for 2 days and then down to Convict lake for a couple of days. Really looking forward to the trip. It will be the first trip up there that I will have a kayak to fish from. The long johns will be put to good use I am sure. Thanks for the inspirational pictures!

Had a perfect first trip.
It’s surprisingly busy up here for post Labor Day.

I also advise rigging rope/floats to your traps *before* going out on the water, or at least before adding weights. Ended up sacrificing one to the gods

That’s camp spot looks familiar if it was Gull, was the first spot as you turn n make a right? Last camp entrance on the way to Silver?

Jim, saw you as you were heading out. I was making breakfast with my sister. Knew you were there when I saw your picture at the counter of SLR. Then I saw your badass trailer rolling thru.

ProfessorLongArms I was at the shore drinking a beer when you caught that one right in front of us on Monday. I said nice fish, too bad I didn't know you were a forum member otherwise I would have introduce myself. Fishing was slow but it was a PERFECT day for fishing.

I agree!! I meant to stop and chat longer, but wanted to get that fish cleaned before dark

I had a feeling you might be a forum member... Yellow PA, right? I was also envying your trailer!

I just got around to going through my SLR photos. Got one decent pic of the lake at dawn.
