Took last week off and headed up the 395 with my two older sons. Planned stops for bass and trout.
SHORT VERISON
Over 100 bass and 150 trout in 6 days of fishing
LONG VERSION:
First few days were spent in the Owens Valley tubing the ponds for a decent bite on LMB. Lots each day with the biggest around 3lbs.
The boys also "slayed" the bluegill each day!!!

Not to be out done, little brother hammers away

I guess I gotta get in on the action

Plus a few other random fish

When fishing slows, we capture other "wildlife"!!

Next we hit up North Lake, on our way up to Parchers Resort. Got lots of nice Brownies, Brookies and Rainbows

Next 2 days it was trout fishing on South Lake. 35 fish the first day and 60 fish the second day.
Jared hooked us up with the full VIP package at Parchers. The Family Chateau, complete with Satellite TV and Boat. Best of all, it's right next to the road so you have quick lake access:

All joking aside, Jared and crew took great care of us and the entire Parchers Resort is first class !!! Thanks for everything my friend!!!!
South Lake Day one I managed the Trout Grand Slam, catching rainbow, golden, brook and brown trout on the same day.
Day two we caught a ton of fish including this nice 4lb 11oz rainbow

Fishing at South Lake was pretty much wide open. We only left each day because my crew kept getting worn down.
In between all the fishing we did manage a few cool hikes. This one up to about 10,500 on the pass of the backside of South Lake

This up towards Sawmill Pass in the Owens Valley
http://www.senortuna.com/pics/data/500/DSC_0945.JPG
We also visited the Manzanar Memorial along the 395. This was the camp where anyone associated with Japanese ancestory during WW II was "relocated". Very interesting place. After visiting the museum there and reading of all the emotions that went thru everyone, then and now, I thought this American Flag, placed at the entry to the cemetery, was quite ironic

Another epic trip with the boys!!!
