nice fish pictures man.

just a reminder, those who plan on going up there before the season opens up again its a 5 fish a day and 5 in POSSESSION, so even if u stay a week you can only have 5 fish a person going home.

Thanks for the great report and pix. I surely missed the sierras this last year with my Alaska, but I can't wait to make it backup there soon!

Did you guys try to go up to any of the lakes to take a look? Any idea on how much snow is up there?

Great report. I was up there this weekend also, mostly to snowboard, but I broke away one morning to get some fishing in. Its great at PVR and the Owens right now. In response to the last reply. There is a lot of snow pretty much everywhere above Pleasant valley. All the Lakes in the Mammoth Lakes basin and probably June lake loop are frozen over.

That's if the poachers that are reading this aren't up there already eating and killing the trout... LOL

Hey Droogie,

Saw you guys (well, your wife and kids) on the way back to the ride for lunch on Saturday! I just posted a report of our trip earlier tonight. Definitely a blast fishing there this weekend. But then again, big fish or not, it's always fun to fish there. Sure missed tubing it this time around, but I was fine hanging out on the shoreline with my son and some good friends.

Anyways, great report and congrats on the fine catch(es)!!!! See you out there next time around!

Tight lines!
