Edison Lake, CA
For my birthday this year, I stayed at Mono Hot Springs in a cabin and went exploring looking for new fishing locations. One of my trips was up to Edison Lake. I had great weather on this day and decided to take out my camera and get a few pictures of the view. I was hoping to get a good reflection off the water, but the wind started to pick up, and this was my best effort.
This time of year, the resort and campground are closed, and I was the only person here. It was a little spooky and cool at the same time. I had my dog Annie with me, and we had a great time fishing and enjoying the scenery. Unfortunately, I didn't get any fish in the lake, but when I went below the dam, I caught a baker's dozen in the creek. Ended up being a great day overall.
If you look at the right side of the picture, that is the dam. It is the biggest earthen dam that I can remember seeing. It is almost a mile across, and it put together with thousands of rocks. I can't imagination how long it took them to put them all in place. Another great location to visit above Fresno.
