Went out in search of trout in a desert lake. About a mile hike back in rugged country and very picturesque this time of year with the desert flowers starting to bloom.

Took my wife and 2 dogs and packed in a float tube

Saw cruising trout feeding on flying ants and beetles

Geared up and started fishing. One of my dogs , a vizsla loves fishing, and swam out to investigate while I was fighting a fish. I was laughing hard and trying to fight a big trout at the same time

On the hike out ran into quite a few rattle snakes.
