You'll soon be contacted for investigation on the charge of mental cruelty to old men stuck in Virginia.... That looks like a wonderful place and sounds like a great time!

Wow. It doesn't get any better than that!
Re: OT: Cabinet Mtn Wilderness lake
Danny, My brother and I fished the Cabinet Mountains Wilderness back in 98 and caught lots of nice rainbows and cutts. Along with the Beartooths and the Winds, it is one of my favorite places on earth. Sure beats downtown Birmingham, AL where I am sitting now. Thanks for sharing the photo.

Re: OT: Cabinet Mtn Wilderness lake
Beautiful ain't it! Got a nice Bull Elk with my .44 '94 Trapper not too awful far from there. Just back over Snowshoe and towards the Clark Fork a ways. Have a small parcel of land dead nuts north of Huson half way up the mountain on a plateau over looking the valley, some day I'll build and move there permanently. Bought it back in '84 for a song with both mineral and water rights, covenants are mine too! Some day....some day

The best way to catch those high mtn trout is spin gear with a clear bobber and a lawyer fly about 5 or 6' behind it. My hunting partner and I caught one about every cast, just put it out there and then slow slow retreive. they were running 10 to 14". danny
Ive hunted all over the cabinets its mostly dark timber hunting wait for a tracking snow and ride up on them elk, horses dont bother them at all. Have taken some nice mulies too. danny

Okay, I'll bite (pun intended): what's a lawyer fly?

+ 2 - for some kid (compared to you codgers) stuck in Colombia... I miss the US mountains somethin' fierce. The Andes are OK, but they don't have the same feel as the good ol' Rockies...

Re: OT: Cabinet Mtn Wilderness lake
Back in the last millennium I was fishing up in the Collegiate range in CO. We cleaned up with Roostertails on the brookies - 8-12 inchers for the most part. I'd cast out into the beaver ponds and see them zooming in from all angles. I'd tried just 'bout everything else in the tackle box 'til we settled on Roostertails. Color didn't seem to matter that much. There's nothing like fresh brookies rolled in cornmeal and fried in bacon grease over an aspen fire...BigSky56 wrote:The best way to catch those high mtn trout is spin gear with a clear bobber and a lawyer fly about 5 or 6' behind it.

Re: OT: Cabinet Mtn Wilderness lake
Paul that lake was full of brookies too they were hitting on panther martins and roostertail mepps they were on the small side though the limit was 5 bows and cutts and 20 brookies. Just over the tree line in the photo and 500' higher was Upper Cedar twice the area of the lower lake. danny
Re: OT: Cabinet Mtn Wilderness lake
AmBraCol - man your description and that photo hit my memory bank. Back in '68 my family backpacked into Pecos Baldy Lake in northern NM. We ate 12" rainbows fresh out of the water over an Aspen wood fire. I'd love to go back.
