Headed up to Bishop to camp and fish for a few days. Weather looked a little bad on the way up. http://i729.photobucket.com/albums/ww300/seasick17/Bishop/bishopfishing001.jpg
but made for a nice picture after the storm passed

The storms would come and go, so fishing was limited to an hour or two each trip. I would have stayed longer but the wife didn't like sitting in the rain.
The first day I got 12 perch, here is one of the nicer sized ones

Hit up south lake on wed morning, it was about 49 and the storm was on its way. First cast I get a nice rainbow. I am now thinking this is going to be a good day. It was the only fish I got. Rain came in so we headed out.

Got back to camp an it was 30 degrees hotter. Tried to take a nap but the tent was cooking hot.
Headed back up to PVR for yet another storm. Lasted about 15 mins. Fishing was slower this time because of the wind. Got 4 perch and 1 brown. Tried to get a picture of the brown but I dropped him before the wife could snap the picture.

This time the storm didn't blow through so fast. It lasted for more than an hour. So we called it quits and headed back to a raining night of camping.
Got up the next morning to clear skies. Headed back to PVR for one last session. Fishing was great until the sun hit the water and it got hot. Got 5 perch and 4 rainbows. All in all a good few days but the wife got pretty bored. Heading up again in 2 weeks with a friend to hike some of the back lakes.
