It was about time for another Bishop trip again so i told my parents that we gotta fish the open season waters one last time before we say goodbye to them for 6 and a half long months..
Made it up late Friday after school... planned out the next day and hit the hay.
SATURDAY-
We decided to head over to one of my favorite low elevation creeks b/c it'll be considered "closed" in a day... It proved to be a very good decision because the daytime temp was right at 73 degrees.. perfect.
Fish were happy to play along too...

and i almost left out the whopper of the trip...
Total for the day-
me= 2 bows and 6 browns (released), all on mepps or gold panther martins
dad=2 bows and 2 browns (released), spinners/nightcrawlers
SUNDAY-
We didn't have that much time otherwise i would've definately shot up to PVR but i was content with hittin up the river so we headed over to east line and followed some dirt roads... found a pretty nice spot that im sure alot of you guys on here fish all the time..

This one we kept cuz my dad set the hook a lil late :/
I totalled out with three 'bows and surprisingly a largemouth too... a lil late in the season but i aint complaining. I was fishing with these 'micro lights' i picked up at bass pro (probably explains how i got the bass) but does anyone else fish trout with these?
Heres what i was using..

i had a problem with the two trebles constantly hooking together so every other cast i had to fix that... got kinda annoying.
My dad got 2 rainbows and a nice 14" brown all on the crawlers.
All in all it was a good trip and i can't wait to head up for the thanksgiving weekend... this time im definately hittin up the rez.. the fishing should be incredible over there right now
