Got to Bishop around 5pm. Headed into the canyon and got to North Lake around 5:30 pm. Fished for about 2 hours - no luck. There was a TON of surface action - too bad I didn't bring my waders and fly gear. After leaving with "the stripe" we spent the night in Bishop at the Bishop Village Motel. Decent enough accomodations for a one night layover. Woke up around 4:30 and headed to Gull Lake - fished for about 4 hours in the morning. Hooked up with a bunch of small fish and then got hit by a 3 pound 2 ounce beauty. Was fishing with trout worms (Lip Ripperz and Berkely Gulp and Power Worms).

Went to Silver Lake and caught 2 on the troll (gold/black rapala Cd5) over about 2 hours. Was really windy. The next day we hiked into TJ and Barret Lakes up behind Lake Mary - caught a few small rainbows on copper Kastmaster. It was a very beautiful short hike and the views of Crystal Crag were breathtaking.

That afternoon drove up to Saddlebag Lake and it was WFO on smallish rainbows - also hooked into a small brookie. Too bad the views weren't as nice as they should be, due to the fires in Yosemite.

The next morning fished Gull before the sun came up. Caught a couple small Sac Perch on the troll.

After that it was wide open for a couple hours on small rainbows baiting and waiting. That evening trolled for several hours and caught a handful of small rainbows. Headed back down the hill the next morning. Had a great time. It was really hot and alot of the people I talked to were having a tough time catching fish. Enjoyed a nice lunch at Tiger Bar and dinner at the Sierra Inn.
