Crowley Lake - CA

Please bow to this gentleman friends. Richard “Pops” Rathcke is 89 years young and still setting the hook in 21 feet of water! He was 4-4 on the sets to start his day. One of my dearest clients & friends, Pops has been a role model for me in the twenty years I have had the pleasure of fishing with him.

My great friend and veteran Drifter Franko “whiskers” Carlsen always gets big fish. This buck took a #14 dark crystal tiger midge in twenty feet.

Lahontan Cutthroat on Lake Crowley

Issac Simon got this sweet brownie McGee Bay with Doug Dolan.

Walker Armstrong got into some nice fish while still water nymphing with guide Jerry Gilpin.

Dave Cook focused on quality for hid trip with Jerry Gilpin. Crowley has been tough the last few days; but average size has been great this year.

Quality, not quantity was the theme for Dan Thompsons trip with Doug Rodricks. The north end has been the most consistent area recently.
