We stayed the weekend at Fairview Campground, about 15 miles N of Kernville on the Kern River Hwy. All along the river it was tent city.
I got about 6 hours of fishing in, staying between the campground and the river. I only caught one 13" rainbow. This was with a green and red Rooster Tail in the morning. I had two others on the line, early afternoon, but midway in I lost them. One was with a green jig and the other was with a Panther Marten. A had several other bites while using some yellow Zeke's Gold on a 16" leader with a bubble. I think the bubble added too much weight to the line so I stopped using it.
Several people fished the same areas I fished with good success. They mostly were using salmon eggs.
The trout were very active throughout the day in the sun and shade, in 2-4' of water. Bites always seemed to be immediate.
No pictures unfortunately, but the water was great as well as the weather.
