Fishing Saddlebag Lake- Again
Hunter-Gatherer Instincts
John caught a large fish here, so back again we go. I went for a brief walk along the brook near the Saddlebag Lake turnoff and found some new wildflowers - Grass of Parnassas, Swamp Onion, and Western Eupatorium, or snakeroot. Lots of pennyroyal, too. We caught a lot of fish - about 12.
.
When I went back to meet John for lunch and afternoon fishing, there he sat with a lovely 2-lb. rainbow he’d caught bank fishing. So proud of himself! A lovely fish, and this one we cooked and ate. I filleted it very well, and we had a late dinner after a hot bath and some white wine.
What a delight to eat the fish you catch! The fish he caught was an Alpers, a large hatchery fish placed to keep all of us Sierra lovers fishing in hopes of catching one.
I caught two small eastern brook trout today in the lake. Novel,
