Great report!  Way to pull off the grand finale' in front of the fans.   

Wanted to join you man but had other previous plans. Thanks for the report & I'm glad you got into some lings and the rest of the bag. Those underlings can be thick there in S.W. but I would rather catch those than itty bitty gophers. Better fightin. 'Catch' you next time.  jim

I am glad I got the chance to chat with you, not long after you landed that ling my lack of sleep started to wear on me so I called it a day and headed home with about 6-7 fish and about the same released that were too small or some real big Canaries that are not worth the fine.Next time I head up your way I would like to take you up on your offer of hooking up to fish blue lakes.I am glad the whole weekend worked out for you. Did you get any info on the beach closure??
Matt

They put a Lassen Co. strain (private) plant a month or so ago, nice 14-17" fish...supposedly state is stocking today...they used to plant eagle lake trout... send me a PM next time your up this way and we'll hookup

I took a pick of that marker and it had a webpage to find out "whats up" funny they didn't specify what was going on!!! and when asked the park ranger had no info...
