I have a couple of buddies, one that works with me, Mogens, and another his friend Thomas. Mogens is from Denmark and has lived here about 7 years. Thomas just moved over from Denmark and they met at the annual EU soccer tourny in the Bay area.
Well, Thomas has never been trout fishing in the US and so we took him up. The fishing was okay...stocker trout. They call them rainbow even though there isn't much color to them. I call them stocker peppers. See why?
We caught a few (3) and Thomas caught his first trout in the US
We then enjoyed lunch in Markleeville and I left early while they went back to fishing so that Mogens could get a few. I took 89 to 88, over Carson Pass and down Mormon Emigrant Trail to Shingle Springs to 50 and home. Very fun ride home.
The ride up was...well...cold. I have a pair of rain gloves, but they aren't great for the cold. Better than nothing I didn't freeze anything to destruction, but my fingers sure were feeling the cold...no more riding without the full set of gear with me!
Here are a few shots of the river, and 89 by Markleeville
