hiketofish Posted September 17, 2007 Author Share Posted September 17, 2007 Here's a few more pictures. This is another of Harvey Lake. Flyfishing went like this for me. First place that looked fishy I cast out a big dry fly, I think a chernobyl ant. I waited patiently until a big rainbow emerged from the depths and then promptly broke me off. Then nothing for a while and then I watched as two fish cruised together in the shallows and I caught the smaller one. Unfortunately at the lake, you are very limited in back casting over much of the lake. I did okay flyfishing but would have loved to have fished it at a few select spots in the evening. Not really a destination you're going to bring a float tube to. There were definitely spots around the lake that you could flyfish quite easily. Here's the exit stream before it turns into a tight canyon with waterfalls. You could not help but catch a fish here every cast but they were all small. Good to see I suppose in an self-reproducing lake. So I walked around the lake, doing some flyfishing, some spin fishing. I was a bit curious about this scat, more because of the color. If it was black, I would assume it was bear and it likely is but the color threw me off. Any Scat ID'ers out there? Hiking down the snaring (remember not a good idea) there are some real cliff sections. By cliff sections, I mean you have to climb way up and around and then way down to go like a couple hundred meters. Here's a couple of them looking down. Yes there are more than one of them. While you are hiking up above the cliffs, you may as well climb over a few trees. They were endless it seemed. This is a good example of a cliff we decided to wade/swim. Didn't do this to the last day, I would actually make that choice again given the other option. Lesson learned, will not hike down the Snaring again.

Jeffro Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Awesome story and great pics Hiketofish. Your scat is that of a bear. It's just a little old and from the spring/early summer, when the bears are eating hedysarum and other vegetation to clean out the colon after a hard winters rest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pipes Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 Awesome read. Hiketofish, interested in doing some sheep hunting? You have a good will and ambition, exactly what a sheep hunter needs. I just can't convince my friends to come along anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esmeadows Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 This is obviously pretty old, but I wonder if the photos can still be recovered? I'm only seeing the broken jpg symbol when I read the original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
