Still fighting, even in the net.

Lulu's first fish!

I think this was Lulu's second fish of the day.

Bigger than the first.

Learning to hold a fish.

Aren't they cute?

Joe's third fish was the biggest of them all.

Our guide Phil, hard at work.

Such a pretty fish!

Celebrating his third catch of the day.

Back at Copper Top.

Mmmmmmmm tri-tip.

More tri-tip and ribs. NOMNOM!

The Lee family.

The entire Lee family this time.

Fly fishing with Sierra Drifters at Crowley Lake. Most of the group was new to fly fishing, and none of us who had gone before were experts (or even journeymen), so the guides were essential-- plus fishing from boats was a different experience than yesterday's fishing from shore. Allison was a ringer, she caught 8 fish on her first trip! Joe caught 3, Mike, Lulu, and BK caught 2 each, and AJ caught 1. Everyone had a ton of fun, and aside from the burning sun, it was nice spend a half day out on the lake.

Since Joe and Lulu missed Copper Top on their way up, that was the next stop. The kids complained about going back a second time, but the ribs were good enough that Joe instantly decided he could never reproduce them. And we had an unexpected prototype Mercedes GLE sighting at Copper Top, too.
