went up to the eastern sierras for 4th of julyweek..over all, pretty successful trip. i say "pretty successful" and not "freakin awesome" cuz the weather was blazing (since im not used to this 85+ degree weather) and 2 flat tires. yes, TWO. one on the trailer and the other on the truck. stupid road construction. anyways, fished mostly crowley but went to george, mary and convict. tons a 12-14 inchers in crowley but pulled out some big ones. i think the catch ration was 15:1. 15 small ones for every 1 nice sizer :D at george, mary and convict, we mostly caught on lures. im not a big fan of bait fishing..i have a hard time just watching my rod. but at crowley, they were hitting pretty much everything. lures, worms, bait, midges. the bigger ones were caught on worms and lures. midging and bait produced smaller ones for some reason. and the perch bite was crazy good. some guy said he caught like 50+. how true that is i dunno.
here are a few pics of the bigger ones we caught...enjoy.

my cousin..3.8 lb rainbow

I can never bring those large ones in on my 2 lb test. Yet everyone says to use 2. Any suggestions?
Nice pics. Did you stay for the fireworks that night at Crowley?
Did that Bear have 2 cubs with her? If so, it was the same ones we ran into (rather ran into us) at Lake Mary. :lol:
Sorry for all the questions.
Thanks

haha no worries. i usually use 4 lb test p line. imo, 4 lb works fine for me. 2 lb kinda scares me haha. i stayed for the fireworks 2 years ago. and it was CROWDED! and since ive seen it once, i dont really need to fight the crowd to see it again :D as for the bear, i only saw one. [/quote]
