What I want to know is where that picture of the backpacker with the trophy trout was taken. False advertising if you ask me. smirk

Not sure if they grow them that big at Whitney (with the exception of the Hatchery.) But, Tim Alpers has been planting the Alper Trout for "Adopt a Creek" for at least the last 18 years. My son Cy caught a 6 3/4 pounder out of North Fork Bishop Creek a few years back and we've caught several over 2 pounds, up to 4 pounds out of North Lake.
And, in case people don't know, the canals outside of Bishop hold large Brown Trout. The biggest we've caught out of the canals is 3/4 pound, but it was 18 inches long!!! And the canals are also full of very large Crawdads, I call them CrawdZillas. I was hoping Gary and his wife would catch some of those for some yummy Southern Gumbo. Below is a pic of my son Cy with one of those creatures! If you go to the previous pic, you'll see a pretty good size trout.
