Another example of "a bad day fishing is better than a good day at work". I envy every trip you take,hiking,scenery,fishing.

I am prepping some stuff to hopefully help me be more effective next time. I'll day hike 6 miles in the heat to try to get revenge for this skunk!

Still a good learning experience and you got some good exercise.

Right on. I just ordered some 2 and a half inch brown tube jigs with 1/4oz jig heads to try there and a few other places. They should resemble those baby trout and I will be able to cast them a mile. I plan to go back sooner than later.

Ah well. Never heard much good about Poore. Always liked Kirman. Good luck on the Walker.

I'm going back. I already ordered stuff for it and dug up stuff out of my long lost tackle supply to see if I can figure it out. There are really nice fish there and a 6 mile day hike in the heat is worth going for a round two as far as I'm concerned. We will see how it goes sooner rather than later.

Need try crickets on a clear bobber at those alpine lakes! If it makes you feel better I didn’t have the great of a day fishing either! But a bad day fishing is better than a good day at work..

Right on. I mainly fish artificial barbless in alpine lakes. I just ordered stuff specifically for this lake but I think I need to try what I'm getting in a few other choice locations.

You should have gone up to Leavitt Lake for the golden trout. You can park on the lake if you have a 4X4. Beautiful spot. Pacific Crest Trail is straight up the backside of the Lake.

Yeah, I plan to hit that eventually. I have unfinished business here still. I ordered some stuff to use at this lake. I plan to start hitting golden trout lakes in a few weeks.

LOL this skunk just fueled you to return Poore lake and land some brookies, days like this happen more than any of us would like it too. But when it happens to you I know it a TOUGH day, I like how you recounted everything you tried. Great information and content from the trip regardless. Looking forward to where your next adventure.

This experience made me order things I have never tried before and we'll get to see how it plays out sooner than later. Time to expand the larger trout attack package!

Man you threw the everything but the kitchen sink LOL - the inlet supports spawning even though it is shallow - sorry about the net at least it was not your big fish net 👍 catch you next time.

I threw what I had with me at them. The kitchen sink will be in my next attack! Already put an order in for some very specific things.

I always had a cast a bubble with some flies. You can fill it about half or 3/4 way with water you cast it way out there. Has a tendency to get tangled but is effective in the high mountain lakes. Emerger pattern, nymph?

Right on. Sooner rather than later we'll get to see if the 2 and a half inch brown tube jigs and 1/4oz jig heads I just ordered will work. Spoons might be part of the attack as well. I will have a much broader selection next time. I rolled up there with my usual alpine lake selection and it did not work out at all.

That's why they don't call it catching. In my experience, lakes like that require a boat, kayak, canoe, etc. I've fished lakes in some kind of floating thing and looked for structure.

As I stated in this clip, fished two kinds of panthers at every depth, all along the deep shoreline, down to a 40 count. Panther matins have been a part of my fishing package since I was in muddle school. I have a few clips on my fishing tips playlist demonstrating different ways I like to fish them.

You can't say you didn't throw everything at it!! No bait? Somedays, it just doesn't happen. Still better than working.

Grasshoppers floating off the bottom would have probably worked but I have plans for the future. We are going to get to see if 2 and a half inch brown tube jigs with 1/4oz jig heads work. I think they should resemble the larger baby trout and I will be able to cast them far. Spoons, bubbles with flies, I have a whole new attack package planned for this lake!

Far side, where stream comes in Near side all areas around outlet. Powerbait, try it later in year when water level lower. Camp in Meadowbrook outlet. You should find correct trail at near end of lake

I usually fish artificial/barbless/catch and release in the backcountry but I ordered some stuff better suited for that lake. My standard tackle I usually use in alpine lakes just wasn't cutting it there.

@wildernesswithamani1027 I'm an older guy. Just turned 79. Last visited poore lske 2015. Decided after that trip that it was a little more than I could still handle. Caught 2 decent brookies that trip. Some of best eating fish. We only took out what we wanted for dinner. Meat on fish if deep orange and red. Fish usually in 16 to 18 inch range but ocsssionally 21 22 inch. Beautiful coloring. Fished there for 40 years. Will try to send some pics

is it usually that windy there?

Extremely tough fishery with rugged terrain. Long exposed hike keeps the people away. Theres a reason why theres very few videos of this lake....its because the fishing is TOUGH!

Frustrating when you see the rising fish and they won't take what your offering. The size of that brookie that followed your jig in would definitely make you want to come back. I think fly & bubble & small baby trout ju2g mught be good.
