Description
Eagle Lake is a very large lake in Lassen County in northwest California. It is primarily known for its delicious trout.
The lake has several campgrounds but only one town near its northern border.
Because it is 5,000’ in elevation, the water is quite cool. It is also alkaline and only a few species of fish can survive. The trout feast on minnows and small shrimp. The flesh is white but turns a lovely pink when cooked or smoked. Many consider it is best trout in the world! I have caught many and enjoyed every bite.
This watercolor painting was done while I was at the lake. The cool colors are restful. The various elements have been enhanced with colored pencil work.
