Description
Eagle Lake is a very large lake in northwestern California. It is at a high elevation and reached by a twisting mountain road, which starts near Susanville, CA.
The trout which are found in abundance in the lake are very special. They feed on small shrimp which creates a reddish flesh, which looks like salmon but tastes like trout!
They are hard to catch but the fisher is well rewarded with a wonderful catch. I have caught many trout in this lake!
A fishing day begins early, often at 5:00 am. At such anearly time, the water and air are very cold but as the sun rises, it gets hotter and hotter. By afternoon, swimming is wonderful.
I have many fish photos but decided to do a watercolor painting, showing off the rolling mountain tops, filled with green forests as well as the beautiful lake and shoreline.
