Hiking and Fishing - Pinecrest Lake, CA (Northern California Trout Limit) 

Great outing! Pinecrest is a gem, my favorite in the Calaveras pass. Just north in the El Dorado pass, is Loon Lake and the entry point to the Rubicon Trail, which starts at the northern lake campground. Beautiful clear lake with larger trout on average, and you can spot the schools from the higher rocks, where they're eager to chase Kastmasters and Roostertails..

Beautiful area & those were nice trout. 🎣👍😉

That spot was worth the walk. Nice catches.

Go up the river for prettier fish. Caught a nice hybrid in those few pockets of still water.

keep an eye for snakes we ran into a rattler on that same trail just past the first set of rocks you have to climb

cool video:)
