AFTER TELLING ALL MY BOYS ABOUT THE SLAYFEST A FEW WEEKS AGO....WE HAD BEEN TRYING TO SET UP ANOTHER TRIP TO GO BACK UP TO PVR...WELL IT FINALLY HAPPENED.....THE ONLY ONE THAT I KNEW THAT WAS REALLY DOWN WOULD BE MY BOY NACHO...HE ALSO BROUGHT HIS SON IGGY..WE LEFT FRIDAY NIGHT AT 6PM AND GOT TO THE TREES HOTEL AROUND 9:45PM...WE SET UP OUR TUBES AND GOT EVERYTHING READY FOR SATURDAY...
SAT ARRIVES AND WE ARE ON OUR WAY AT 6:30AM...WE GET TO THE POWER PLANT 10MINS LATER...AND START THE HIKE...FIRST THING I NOTICE THE WATER IS WAY WAY UP!!!!!......AFTER A 20 MIN HIKE WE LAUNCH AND WE START TO SCOUT WERE THE FISH ARE....FIRST THING I NOTICE WHEN I LAUNCH, MY FISH FINDER IS READING THAT THE WATER TEMP IS 43 DEGREES :shock: ..WOW!..THATS PRETTY COLD...I WAS METERING FISH EVERYWHERE ...FOR THE FIRST HR WE WERE GETTING NO LOVE, THEN NACHO SEES A BOIL AND THROWS A WHITE CRAPPIE JIG GETS SHORT BIT TWICE AND THE THIRD CAST ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ A NICE 2LB BROODSTOCK.....AND THATS IT..ABOUT AN HR GOES BY AND FINALLY I HOOK UP USING A DROP SHOT BLACK AND SHAD POWER WORM...AND WHAT DO YOU KNOW????.. A NICE BROWN ABOUT 15 INCHES!..... A FEW HRS GO BY FOR NADA.. WE HEAD DOWN TOWARDS THE DAM IN BETWEEN CATCHING A FEW RAINBOWS...BY THIS TIME MY FEET ARE GETTING COLD..NACHO SON DECIDED TO GET OUT OF THE WATER BECAUSE HIS FEET WERE FROZEN HAHAHA.....I MANAGE TO GET ANOTHER BROWN ABOUT THE SIZE OF THE OTHER ONE...AROUND 12PM WE DECIDE TO CALL IT BECAUSE THE FISHING WAS TOUGH!!!!!!!!!!!....AND OUR FEET WERE PRETTY FROZEN.....AS WE ARE HEADING BACK TO THE POWER PLANT WE DECIDE TO FISH BY THE CREEK..AND BOY THAT WAS A GOOD DECISION!!!! BECAUSE THATS WHERE THE FISH WERE..BUT YET THEY WERE STILL VERY LETHARGIC..WE MANAGED TO GET A FEW THOUGH..I MANAGED A NICE BROODER ABOUT 4 OR 5LBS....ALL MY FISH WERE CAUGHT ON THE "TOMINGO TWIST" AT THE CREEK..OVERALL FISHING WAS SLOW DUE TO THE COLD WATER
MY RESULTS- 18 RAINBOWS 1 BROODSTOCK AND 2 BROWNS ALL C&R
NACHO-8 RAINBOWS ALL C&R
IGGY-3 RAINBOWS ALL C&R
WE ALSO WENT AND EXPLORED THE OWENS RIVER OFF OF LINE STREET..WHERE I MANAGED A VERY SMALL BROWN ON A PANTHER MARTIN AND IGGY GOT A RAINBOW ON A JIG...NACHO GOT NO LOVE!
SUN
WE LOAD UP THE TRUCK AND CHECKED OUT AT 6AM.. HEADING STRAIGHT BACK TO PVR ...THIS TIME WE JUST FISHED FROM SHORE...WE HEADED TO THE SPOT WHERE WE WERE ON SATURDAY..MY FIRST 2 CAST I HOOK UP WITH ANOTHER BROWN AND BOW..AND IT WAS ON.......SO I THOUGHT!!!...WE SPREAD OUT AND TRIED A LOT OF DIFFERENT STUFF...CATCHING A FEW HERE AND THERE.... FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF HRS ITS THE SAME ...CATCHING A FEW ON THE DROP SHOT AND THE "TOMINGO TWIST"..NACHO WASNT GETTING TO MUCH LOVE BUT WAS STILL HAVING A GOOD TIME..SAME FOR IGGY...WE DECIDE TO CALL IT AT 1130AM..AS WE HAD A LONG DRIVE AHEAD OF US.....ON THE WAY HOME WE STOPPED AT THE MT.WHITNEY FISH HATCHERY TOOK SOME PICS OF THE BROODERS THEY HAVE....OVERALL THIS TRIP WAS A SLOW ONE BUT STILL BETTER THAN ANYTHING AROUND HERE...I THINK THE COLD WATER HAD ALOT TO DO WITH IT NOT PRODUCING AS IT NORMALLY DOES...BUT I WILL BE BACK AGAIN NEXT WEEKEND TO TAKE IT ON AGAIN!!!

NACHO-4 RAINBOWS ALL C&R
