Woods Creek Fishing

It was time for another fishing trip organized by Cousin Gary.  As usual, we all dropped everything and made plans to join him.  It was a cool fall day and we had clear skies!
We went in a new way to Woods Creek where we walked about 2 miles until we hit the creek.  The we walked about another mile up to the upper meadow.   
Lisa was the first to catch a fish and caught it in the lower meadow.  You can see her technique below.
We had Hops, Oak and Ahi with us so when the hiking stopped and the fishing started, I hung back with the dogs.  This is when I found this cool pine cone, which we think is from a white fir.  The pine nuts inside were so fragrant.

When we took a break, we let the dogs off leash.  Oak proceeded to run into the creek, step off a ledge and end up completely underwater in a deep hole!  
Having a snack in the upper meadow.  We hit just the end of the fall leaves with the change in colors.


We caught a few fish but most of them were just gumming the bait.  I watched one fish take the bait like a harmonica in its mouth 4 or 5 times before he tired of the game.
