Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Photograph of Jesse Brown holding a stick with 5 trout dangling off of it near Gull and June Lakes. He stands at center and looks downward towards the fish he holds. The fish are skewered onto a stick that Jesse holds low in front of him with both hands. A grassy landscape expands into low hills behind him. Text from negative sleeve: 562. Convict Lake - Gull Lake, about 1920. The little stream between Gull and June lakes could be hopped across. Full of big 4 and 5 lb trout coming up to spawn. Would not take baits. We made spears of pine branches and speared them in the bends of the creek along the bank.
