Fishing Beula Lake in Yellowstone

Had a great time hiking in 2 1/2 miles to Beula Lake on Saturday and fishing for three hours.  The birds, animals, flowers and sounds were a great solitary experience. 

Here is a picture of a faint rainbow I took just before I got rained on.


The fish were willing as I got hits on almost every cast with Yellowstone Cutthroats running from 12 to 16 inches.



A loon interrupted my fishing as it came in to fish the same area I was and it spooked the fish.



But the fish soon returned and continued feeding until 32 people showed up to fish the lake.  Here an 8 year old son of a friend of mine with a cutt that he caught.



With dogs running uncontrolled and swimming through the fishing holes it was time to head home and pick raspberries and peas.


Anything with red or peacock bodies worked for me until all the activity started.  It was a great day for fishing, hiking and photos.
