Last week my family and I headed up to the Eastern Sierra's.
First off, we stayed at Lake Front Cabins in June Lake and they were great. Very clean, comfortable, reasonable and they have a great fish cleaning area. Will definately be staying there again.
We fished June Lake from shore and from a boat, fished Silver lake from shore and fished the lower Lee Vining creek.
On Tuesday, we limited out @ June Lake fishing from a boat. We were using rainbow glitter PB on a 24" leader. Fished the shelf areas and killed em. We were done by 11:00am. We also fished the reeds by the marina with spinners and caught and released another 4 or 5. Fishing from shore was tough. We tried a few different areas and only 3 in two trips. The cliffs area off the road was the hot spot, but I did not want to hike there with the kids.
We fished Silver lake from shore (by the boat ramp) and caught 4 one evening (same bait/rig as above) It seemed the 24" leader was the trick.
We also fished the lower Lee Vining creek in the Cattleguard and Aspen Campground area. We drifted salmon eggs and caught and released at least 20 fish between 3 of us in two days. The fish were spooked easily and we had to use 2lb line and size 18 hooks for the salmon eggs.
The biggest fish of the trip was just over a pound, but the whole family had a blast.
I am planning another trip back to June and Lake Front Cabins around October 25th for my sons b-day and to have a last chance before the season ends.
I am in no way connected with Lake Front Cabins, just happy with the service and accomodations. In you are interested, there website is http://www.lakefrontcabins.net
