the 2 lakes i went to: trapper lake and marqurette lake where gorgeous and i was the only person there. i saw 4 other people total but they were only there for a day hike. the lakes where crystal clear and only 5 feet deep. i saw a few trout but mostly only when i scared them by falling into the lake which i did twice. but without even a bight i gave up after 2 days. the trout i did manage to see where really cool. the ones i could identify where rainbow trout but the others i cannot find what they are. i think i need to find some other trout fisherman to kinda train with. from what i have read trout are very specific with what flys they will hit on.
the walk back to the car was alot easier and only took me about 3 hours. Oregon has a huge and diverse mushroom population so alot of my pictures for here are of them
it was really cool too. i had akira off leash quite a bit up there. when i was fishing i let her run free along the lake and the whole 6miles walk back to the car she was off leash. she did very well; she would come back to within sight when i called. i still think if a deer or other large mammal lead her to far away she would get lose but i think my biggest fear with her being offleash is roads more then her being lost in the wilderness.
