5/24 went up for my 2nd trip this year thuresday to beat the crowds, stayed in a little motel in bishop and fished intake 2 thuresday night when we got there at about 5:00. we were 1 of only about three anglers there. right away the hit was on and we coulndt stop catching fish. we caught 23 fish in about an hour and a half. most on salmon eggs.
5/25 headed back up to intake around 6:00 and it was a bit aslow we only caught 8 in 2 hours a couple 1 1/2 pounders but nothing bigger. wanting to try something new we drove up to sabrina and decided to take the 1 1/2 mile hike to the back of the lake to fish the inlet. its truely beautiful. the inlet was too crowded so we fished from a point close to it. we fished from about 9:00 to 11:30. we caught ten fish, 5 on powerbait, 4 on a super duper 503 an 1 on a red gold thomas bouyant. we caught 5 rainbows, 3 wild rainbows and 2 brookies my first brookies. on the hike back we were walking along the shore when we saw about a ten pound brown cruising the shoreline we would have tried to get in but our poles werent rigged ang we were in a hurry. friday night we went up to rock creek lake do do some evening fishing and got skunked for about an hour. it was crowded and i didnt see one person catch a fish.
5/26 we rented a boat at rock creek lake and got out on the water at about 6:45. it was beyond slow at first , although fish were jumping on the water like crazy, i decided to try a fly and bubble combo with a nymph and got 2 fish. we it got a little warmer and fish werent jumping, we decided to troll we trolled a red gold thomas bouyant and a fre dot frog needlefish and got two on each.
overall i had a good time and we caught a lot of fish, (i caught more than my dad). i was a little mad at how we did at rock creek lake, i still havent really figured that lake out. does anybody have any suggestions on how and where to fish there? anyway a great trip and i cant wait to get back up there.
