410001661 25 Posted January 9 Report Share Posted January 9 (edited) Did this trip a couple of years back and by far it was still my most memorable Edited January 9 by 410001661 1 Link to post Share on other sites
DanD 326 Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 Thanks for sharing man. Reminds me of my one and only fly-in with my brother. My brother then was well enough to go (cancer) and we loved every minute of it. The adventure in itself was great; but being there with my brother on his last adventure will stay with me forever. Again thanks for bring back some fond memories Dan.. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

410001661 25 Posted January 12 Author Report Share Posted January 12 We kept and cleaned early in the week and ate 3-4 meals (lunch or dinners) and it was catch and release during the week on the day before we left we kept a few to take home. Link to post Share on other sites

passthepitonspete 10 Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 What time of year? Did you fish Elbow Lake or Trump Lake? Link to post Share on other sites
410001661 25 Posted January 14 Author Report Share Posted January 14 We went in September and hiked into Cam Lake (I will post about that another time - keep an eye out for it). Tried to get into Elbow/Trump Lake but water was too low. I love the pic of you on Capitan......I went there in late Sept 8 years. Beautiful place Link to post Share on other sites
passthepitonspete 10 Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 Oh, cheers! Nice classic views from Yosemite above. Here are a couple views from partway up El Cap, taken last fall when we were there. Because of the covid and the smoke from the Creek Fire, for a couple weeks my partner and I were the ONLY climbers on all of El Cap, if you can believe it! 1) The almost-view of El Cap from the Meadows in a moderately UN-smoky day! 2) New prototype portaledge we were trying out. It is cantilevered, turned 90 degrees from the usual setup. 3) Big wall margaritas two thousand feet off the deck. Note salted rim, eh? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
passthepitonspete 10 Posted January 14 Report Share Posted January 14 (edited) Oh crap, sorry to hijack your thread! Here are some photos from Little Missinaibi area. We started our canoe trip in [big] Missinaibi Lake, paddled a long way in calm conditions, then up the river and portaged into Trump and Elbow. We went through Little Miss and then down the river back to [Big] Missinaibi Lake. The section of river is pretty difficult, and if I had to do it again, I would Elbow was past its prime in July, but catching lakers in Trump was as easy as getting out and trolling a silver-ish deep diver down seventeen to twenty-five feet. No big lakers, but man - I caught a lot! 1) A typical Trump Lake laker caught on a silvery #9 Shad Rap 2) An impeached Trump lake trout! 3) A couple walleyes from Elbow Lake. You have to think the fishing would be WAY better in May or June than it was for us in July. The walleyes were finicky, and wouldn't hit without using worms on the jigs. Certainly not as cooperative as the Quetico walleyes were just this July! What time of year were yous guys there? Edited January 14 by passthepitonspete Link to post Share on other sites
BillM 479 Posted Tuesday at 02:28 AM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 02:28 AM There are some big gators leading into Elbow. But watch those boulders, lol. Link to post Share on other sites
