Derek and I awoke to a brisk Yellowstone morning at the Lewis Lake Campground. Frost covered my Explorer once again and I sense soon I’ll be waking up to a dusting of snow. But that’s hopefully a few weeks away. So following our big camp breakfast came the sun and plenty of warmth.
All this fishing the last couple weeks has put me behind in my work. Today I planned to get home and start the catch up. But as I headed south towards Jackson Hole in route to my home in Victor, I had to pass Jenny Lake. The aspens are still showing all their splendor. It was so nice out. Couldn’t I just fish a few hours before heading home?
The answer was of course, yes. Derek and I made our way down the trail to my fishing spot on Jenny Lake around 10 AM. It was hot. It was calm. It was hazy from smoke. We were here to catch lake trout so the hot and calm part was a big problem. Though we saw few little lakers swim by the drop-off, they were to spooky to catch. Skunked!
It wouldn’t be fishing if I didn’t get skunked now and then. It happens. It was a great week though fishing with Derek. Good times. We said our good bye at Jenny. I headed home to Víctor and Derek headed home to California. Next in line for me, Glendo Reservoir in Wyoming for walleye on the fly!
