A good day for brownies.

Now that I have slowed my life down a little bit. I seem to have much more time to fish. Life is very good right now. I have managed to get out three times already this month and it is only the eighth.

Mace and I were planning a trip this week to a lake not too far from Placerville. This is one of my favorite lakes this time of year for brown trout. We both thought it would be a great idea to give Mike a call and see if he wanted to join us. Mike was in for a fishing trip and we volunteered him to drive. After a  fairly short drive to the lake, we were in the water and we were into fish, well at least I was. Within minutes I had caught my first beautiful wild brown trout followed by a few more in short order. Mike and Mace were getting a little frustrated and the fact that I was rubbing it in pretty thick did not help. 

We decided to head towards the inlet to see if we could catch some bigger fish. The bigger fish seemed to be pretty thick in the inlet and we had numerous double hook ups.

An average one for Mace.

An average brown for the day.

We played around the inlet until about two o'clock and then started paddling back towards the put in. On the way in Mike and  I stumbled upon a pod of small green sunfish. We were really surprised that they were so active this time of year.

Mace was enjoying the sunfish a little too much.

The three of us casually played with the green sunfish for awhile and headed out for some Mexican food and beer.
