Caught a few rainbows on pretty much every cast before going to bed on the backpacking trip up Mt Whitney.

Noticed among the kelp and sea plants at -1.3 low tide at 5pm. very rocky area. Lots of plant life in area.

Encountered a single individual at 20 feet. Would hide in rocks periodically, but not overly-shy.

30ft depth, 64F, hiding in crevices or large rock formation in center of heisler park kelp forest. not too shy, allowed for close approach but always on the move

Abundant here near the rocks and around the dock.

This small fish, about 3/4" long, darted out from the eelgrass during the -3.1 tide. A Buffalo Sculpin?
