One night "sleep over" between Las Vegas and Lakeview OR. This is Hawthorne NV. Not much to talk about, but safe and free.... good one night!
Our favorite fishing spot - Lakeview OR at Juniper's Reservoir. A little campground in the middle of an 8000 acre Cattle Ranch with a private reservoir - no license required and we always catch lots of fish!
Friends Nita and Ken came to join us for a few nights - lots of fishing fun and good times. See, even Ken can catch a fish!!
End of the first day fishing - 4 people fishing and the take is 5 Cats and 5 Rainbow Trout... and they said the fishing was not so good this year???? We proved them wrong!
The "Super Moon" rising! Was so much better in person, but this is pretty awesome also.
Just one more reason to love this place - the scenery is awesome!
End of day two - Ken and Nita left this morning, so only two of us fishing today - still the count is 7 fish total. I forgot to count how many Cat or Rainbow Trout - doesn't matter anyway, both are good.
It is early July and the reservoir is already so low - they tell us that for the last 3 years they have gotten very little snow in the Winter, so not much to fill up the reservoir. This picture doesn't really show how low it is - trust us we know it is very low. Kind of sad, especially for us who depend on our "fishing fix" every year.
This Miss "Bossy" is determined that we will not be going home. Unfortunately for her, as we got closer she got scared and let us pass. Our Jimmy is big and black and I bet she thought we were the BOSS! Glad not too many big Bulls in this herd!
End of our last day and we still didn't get skunked! Count for today is "I don't know"! Forgot to take the count again. We don't really care how many - we are just happy to have the luck to fill our freezer with fresh fish! The owner told us that he won't take any more water from the reservoir this season so the fish will not die - great news for us cause we plan on returning on our way back South the Fall!
