The answer is...., yes. I've been known to hook a fish a time or two, but that was back in the day. I was better at helping everyone net them in. And boy, could I clean a fish as you can see in my photo.
My fishing experience began in my young days, and with my father. He had no idea how to fish, but he had this fishing pole that seemed to always come along on our family beach vacations to Ensenda in Baja. At dusk, you could see Dad walk down to the shore, bait the line and cast. He was usually unsuccessful. Then, a few years later, I seem to recall a couple of fishing experiences with Aleen my dear friend.
Finally, I met the Master, Randy. A fine fisherman. One of our first dates was fishing. So our family spent lots of time on the lakes along the upper Highway 395 for several years. It was magical being awoken by a huge showering of fireworks above Lake Crowley, signaling it was time to drop your lines in the lake.
So will I be fishing this trip? If I get a hankering. However, I will be stopping at several cities to enjoy the sites. I will set out early Wednesday for Lone Pine (taking in a view of Mt. Whitney), then to Lee Vining (I will have lunch at the Whoa Nellie Deli), then Independence (where Chinatown was filmed), Mono Lake (maybe kayak on the lake) and Bridgeport for some horse back riding. I would love to hear your suggestions for this stay.
Wednesday/Thursday Destination: Mono Lake/Bridgeport

OMG! Those are amazing photos! The mountains look amazing. And you...so fashionable and pretty proudly presenting your catch. You even make posing with the fish and its severed head look cute and innocent. LOL! Really those are great photos of you. If you come across any fish cleaning, make sure you pose and post. :)
