Barnes Meadow Reservoir

Fall is in the air and I snuck in my annual kayak fishing trip to the Cameron Pass area a bit later than normal. Barnes Meadow Reservoir produced in quantity like usual, though the dozen or so trout I caught were on the small side. I also fished Joe Wright Reservoir for the first time, hoping to catch a grayling. But no luck whatsoever there. #catch24

First line drop and a nice eating fish.

My PB cutbow last week. He was shared by three of us for dinner.

After catching 2 trout in nearby Chambers Lake, I took my kayak to Barnes Meadow Reservoir to try my luck there. I was concerned right off the bat because the water was rather murky and discolored for some reason. Despite the water clarity, the fishing was great. I didn't catch anything large, but I was able to catch something every few minutes. I was mostly trolling a spoon and a small crankbait behind me. The highlight was a simultaneous catch on both rods and I was able to get both trout in the net.

Good day on the ice, brought these back for my neighbor.

Not to bad for second time out.

Morning was cold, but ended well. So blessed to fish.
