I went with my son Jim, our dog Ginger, and friends Kerry and Erin to one of our favorite lakes, Kane Lake in the Pioneer Range of Idaho. The scenery was great, but the fish were busy spawning and not jumping into a frying pan like usual. What was feeding like crazy were the mosquitoes! However, the views were worth it for me. It was also pretty nice drinking a good cup of coffee sitting on a mountain meadow teaching my son to fly fish at the lakeshore. How do you get a nice cup of jo in the mountains? I used my new French press that works inside a Nalgene bottle. That is a nice piece of equipment.
That looks great! Thanks for sharing those photos.

How Great. My husband is a Geology Professor in Michigan. Every year he takes students on different expedition. He has done the Kane Lake hike several times. In 2003 I did the hike with him for the first time. It is a beautiful place. Thank you for posting your pictures.

My father (Mike Urrutia) his brother Johnny, and Walt Berry, a game warden first planted fish in Kane Lake in the early 1950's. They tool them by horseback up to the big rocks and then carried the 10 gal. bilk cans of fish over the rocks the last 1/2 mile into the lake.We had to keep it quite for the first 3 yrs. then we could go in and fish. It was fantastic..
