A nicer view of Evolution Lake! Turned out to be a great lake to fish at for Goldens.

Evolution Lake look so serene. I would presume you don't see too many folk up there. Were the goldens of any size or just beautiful?

One of the dozens of "Unnamed Lakes" you pass on the John Muir Trail, but all so pretty and so fishable!

This lake was the best fishing golden trout lakes I've ever experienced. Not for size, as they averaged 10" to 12", but for non-stop hot fishing action.that lasted for hours. Amazing experience! And as usual, I had it to myself!

Is this above permited camp fire elevation? Really, what I'm asking is can you cook 'em? Pretty fish justs makes me think about a frying pan...an ultral light one

Saudust, these golden lakes were just less than 11,000 feet, so no camp fires permitted. But a small stove is fine. I was frying these goldens day and night! For breakfast it was: Fresh caught Fried Golden trout, potatoes, eggs, special spices and cheese, all wrapped in a burrito. For dinner it was: Fresh caught Fried Golden trout, rice, special spices and veggies. I never ate so good on a backpacking trip such as this!!!

Following in the footseps of John Muir kind of lends a silliness to living in the city. Thanks for the continued presentation, wshawkins. You are letting the dreamers in all of us get out of "the house".
