I'll pile on with congrats on some excellent photo work on the Sierra trout. It doesn't get a lot better than 'bows--brookies--and browns from the same water! My wife loves to sit at the bridge you featured, she calls it "watching trout TV".
The large head relative to body size is brought on by stunting due to feed insufficiency. It is seen more often in higher lakes that are ice-free fewer months of the year than lower-elevation lakes.

Awsome pics. Were all the fish caught on flys?
Yup, switched to fly and bubble a year or so back and haven't looked back. I have attempted to use my fly rod from time to time, but that is tough for me when I'm lake side. Some waters are easier for my spin setup until I get better with my fly rod.Originally Posted by mjc89
Fly Spinning at it's finest! I like it....Whatever works right?
Awesome, I hit the opener and hooked up on some nice fish but none a beautiful as yours
Great report. The photo of the reflection in North Lake is really nice.
Nice fish and thanks for the report on the bishop drainage area.Those are some very beautiful pictures of the surrounding area.

Great report and pictures thanks. I'll be up there in 12 days hoping to get into some fish as well. How long do you usually run your leader on that rig? Thanks.

Typically I have a 4-5ft 2# leader for the fly and bubble. Whatever you are comfortable with should work since that is a lot of line dangling on your cast. Depends on the shrubs and trees behind you too.
