I hiked into the 20 Lakes Basin in Northern Yosemite for a little fishing. Caught a few dinks in the high lakes before the wind started, then headed back down and around Saddlebag Lake.
I stopped at a nice looking spot on the Norteast corner of Saddlebag and probably hooked about 30 trout and landed around 25ish (not positive on the fish totals...I wasn't counting at the time). The biggest was the last of the day at about 18 inches. I was using a variety of Spoon lures and the action was non-stop for about 3 hours. Fishing barbless hooks and all fish caught were released alive.
No photos of Saddlebag. I need to start clipping my GoPro to me when fishing so I can get more pictures. My main concern is always getting the fish back in the water ASAP, so I rarely bother with pictures. I usually have a nice mirror-less camera with me, but it's not near the water.
