27" brown trout, my largest ever. It was the sub-dominant fish in its pool. After this, I hooked the bigger one, but I couldn't land it.

Returning from a fly fishing trip in the Eastern Sierras, I decided to take some shots on my way home traveling on Hwy 88. This is Caples Like in the high sierras about 80 miles S.E. of Sacramento. The tall peak in the near center and far background is Round Top @ 10,381 ASL.

Thanks for your reply. There used to be very large Trout in that lake until the CA DFG decided to make changes. Now mostly Put-N-Take fish in there.
