Went fishing with my dad over to the seep lakes last weekend. Saturday we went to blythe and hiked about half a mile to our spot. Got the lines in by noon and now we wait... Took about two hours before the first fish was caught. little 11". At 4:00 it was fish on! As soon i saw my fish roll i knew it was a hog. He faught for a good 10 minutes on my 5'0 ultralite rod tossing and turning trying to break me off. The fish went 24 inches, which is my personal best for trout! Dad caught an 18" five minutes after my fish and left by 6:30. All fish caught on chartreuse powerbait.

Second fish in the pictures is from lower hampton and was fished sunday. Caught a total of 6 fish in the 13-18" range. Five on powerbait. The one pictured i caught tossing a gold/red panther martin near the waterfall pictured.

All in all it was a great trip!

oh and the rattlesnakes are out!
