If a fishing trip is defined by whether you catch fish, we failed at Lopez Lake over the weekend. My wife, Mary, and I tried several spots. Our fish findeer beeped like crazy at one of them. But not a single bite. So how come we felt we had a great time? It was the sunsets at the lake and the Highway 166 going over to it, a trillion stars on Friday night (you get out of Bakersfield and you can actually see what's up there), Kahlua by the campfire, a ribeye medium rare on the grill and the abundance of wildlife. There were deer that ate chips out of Mary's hands (yes, I know shame on her); wild tkurkeys we had to stop on the road for, about 30 quail that wandered near our campsite, fawns that pranced through the same area and a bird fest all over the lake. There were blue herons, white egrets, cormorants, ducks of all shapes and sizes, turkey vultures and golden eagles. A few fish would have been nice, but we were satisfied with the rest. |
