Beautiful area Mr 3Pin! Looks like a nice place to chase fish in the fall. Thanks for sharing!

Oh, keep the mosquitoes, we have plenty...

My sentiments also.

Beautiful meadows and old growth. The sounds of water and bird song were a treat to the ears.

Thanks! Too bad there is no way I can add the smell of lupine and water.

I was hoping for some vicarious early season fly fishing.

I couldn't really tell from the map on your link, but does Caples Creek run into, or out of, Caples Lake? I fished Caples Lake a couple of years ago and got skunked. In spite of not catching anything, it was a great day in a beautiful area. Nice to know that the skeeters are still out in force.

Hummmmmmmmm I'll work on this.

Caples Creek flows out of Caples Lake. Fish the south shore of Caples Lake using the lodgepoles for cover. Be patient, watch for a big one to come quietly cruising right along the shore. Observe what it is taking and plan your presentation. We were out in the woods all last weekend. The skeeters are easing up some but the meat bees are looking for sweets.

Thanks all for your very kind comments. We both appreciate them.

Ted, she is quite the Sherpa and lots of fun to wander through the mountains and deserts with.
