Fishing with Miles on Hosmer Lake

Another day of fishing yesterday, this time up on Hosmer Lake - about 45 minutes from home. This blog has many many photos and videos of Karen, Sydney and I canoeing on Hosmer, but this is the first time I've fished it. Miles and I had a great day.

Hosmer has been snow and ice free for just a couple of weeks, so it was still early season up there. The water plants have not come back much yet, but the surroundings were spectacular as always.

Great views of all the Cascade peaks still very much covered in snow. We also saw bald eagles, an osprey take a nice trout from the lake, and what looked like a weasel along the shore. And, I caught this very healthy brook trout. Miles is not the best photograher, but you get the idea. This fish was big, thick, and a real figther. Strong take on a wounded minnow nymph and a fight through the reeds. A really fun fish that will fight again another day.
