I just couldn't seem to do anything right this trip. After the 65 mile drive to the lakeside bait shop, Glory Hole Sports near Angels Camp, CA, I discovered I had no wallet and no phone! To add to the troubles, I managed to cross the downrigger weights at 85+ feet deep and get them hung up on one another, then cutting my hands on the cables trying to free them. I also burned out a downrigger in the process. And having to move to another anchorage at 0300 the next morning didn't add to my pleasure. To put a cap on this great trip I managed to fall off the trailer while retrieving the boat. But still... The worst day fishing is better than the best day working! (And while my kokanee efforts were in vain, I did catch a couple of nice rainbows.)
