Eagle Lake trout make five-hour drive worthwhile
SPAULDING - Just at dawn when the sun's rays graced the high plateau desert with hues of purple and gold, it was hard to watch the bobber for the not-so-subtle pull down, the sure sign an Eagle Lake trophy trout was on the line. The ambiance of the morning light was so spectacular.
I looked away at nature's showcase, then back to the surface of the lake, only to find my bobber had completely disappeared. Fish on.
Soon, I netted a 3-pound rainbow, but not until after it jumped clear out of the lake not less than three times. It was a beauty, a trout with special markings and a girth that made the five-hour drive from Stockton worth the effort. It wasn't long before another trout, a slightly "smaller" 21/2-pounder came to the boat. My day was made.
