[WAVEMHOME]

Droog-

The tails, the colors, the fight, the scenery... the Sierras can't be beat.

Awesome job! We've had some crazy days in numbers but never with that girth, congrats. I've never hit PVR but I might have to on the next trip which is only 17 days 4 hours and 21 minutes away... (I'm not anxious or anything...) :lol:

How tough is the hike? Our party will include a 4 and 7 year old all the way to some 60 somethings is it easy terrain?

Thanks for the report and conratulations again.

I've never seen those plates, or tagged fish. Are we supposed to be throwing those back, or reporting them to F&G??

[riverside_angler]

great report! i'm thinking about hitting that place up when i go up there for the opener. i understand that you have to hike back there, but is there a place to park a 28 foot trailer there? how is the road to the parking area, wide open or narrow and windy? please advise.

thanks.

[nismotech91]

Beautiful place! I cant wait to visit and fish there! My co-workers take time off and head up there
for a couple days. I think this year Im not going to turn them down!

[Native Gal]

Nice trip,
Thanks for the report.
The Sierras is my favorite place to fish, outside of NoCal. PVR always has huge, beautiful fish, major lunkers have been pulled out of there. Hot during the summer months though. Bishop has a large campground when you first pull in, Brown's Town CG that you can pull your trailers into or tent it. Then all you have to do is take short drives to the Mtn. or river to fish. PVR is a short drive no. of Bishop. Sometimes they have a dry camp site near PVR and there is also a camp site closer to the PVR entrance on the left. It has always been a good place to fish.
Sometimes the DFG likes to get reports back on the tagged fish to see how they are surviving, the local tackle shops will let you know if the info will be noted. I love hiking into the mtns to the smaller glacier lakes, beautiful hard fighting fish back there. Can't wait to make the next trip. If anyone is interested in going fishing near the Bishop area I highly recommend it. There are plenty of lakes accessible to take the whole family. I have been fishing there for about 20 years and still look forward to my next trip because it is always an excellent place to fish.
Tight lines to all. :D
