Rubber boas are awesome snakes. Their tail looks more like their head then their head looks like their head. I saw my second one this summer on the trail up to the Snow Lakes out of Leavenworth. Here’s a shot of it:
I must have been the first one up the trail because a bit later I spotted a rattler. It got into the brush before I recovered my senses and could get my camera out. Before the tip was over I also spotted two different varieties of garter snake.I don’t know of any Washington based sites dedicated to high lake fishing. There are some individuals in other states. There is a fellow who posts here as giantbrookie that has a website dedicated to high lake fishing in California.
Useful information can be found at NW Hikers or WTA but they aren’t specifically fishing sites. And don’t forget to check out the links page on this site for other pages with high lake info or other info that might be of interest to high lake anglers.
The problem is that there is no source for bull trout fry. They can’t propagate them in the hatchery so it is tough to get eggs. It has been discussed and is something we’d really like to try if fish ever become available.
Wow, I don’t know why you aren’t seeing the attachment area. I see the problem now and I’ll see if I can get if fixed.
I moved the questions about posting photos into the Forum Issues area so we wouldn’t clutter up this topic any more.
Here’s a screen shot that shows the button to click to browse your hard drive to add an attachment (on some browsers the button might say Choose File, or something similar).
I don’t know where all the photos in the big fish thread were taken, but I’d estimate half or more are from west side lakes.

How do I post a pic on this site.
If the image exists on another server you can use the Img button to add the pic to your post. If you don’t have another service available you can use the Add Attachment button to attach a picture. That button is below the box where you type in your reply.
No news yet. They were in doing plankton sampling in August. They still caught small EBs and didn’t see any tigers, but apparently that’s not unusual in the first year. It is going to be really interesting seeing how this comes out.
You can tell brookies from trout because they have light spots on a dark background while RB, CT, and GT all have dark spots on a light background.
North Lake is one I know a bit about. I stock that one myself. It gets fish every 4 years and was last stocked in 1998 and 2002. I really want to get a good survey on North because it will be coming up again next year and I want to be sure we do the right thing.
Fish are aged by reading scales or otoliths. When fish grow they leave rings on their scales much like tree rings. Otoliths are inner ear bones and they are often easier to read then scales. The problem is that to be able to read scales or otoliths you need both experience and a microscope.
If a fish is from a lake that does not have natural reproduction an age can often be guessed based on the stocking records.
Do you have a fish from a particular lake in mind?
