Eastern Sierra’s late summer trip:

9/28 Met up with my brother & good friends to make the annual trip up the I-395 to get in on some trolling before the season shuts down. After a brief stop at Crowley and Tom’s Place we rolled into the loop in the afternoon and stayed at a Reverse Creek cabin - nice clean comfy quiet place to stay and relax-.
9/29 After a hardy breakfast we headed down to Silver Lake to get a couple of rentals ($45 Full Day /$35 Half Day) the outboards are Honda 8hp and they have around 12-16 boats. We started into the troll, and we got some action on kastmasters. Troll bite was consistent at Silver-we carefully CPR’d most of the rainbows caught on 2lb P-line flouroclear.
9/30 Out of the cabin by 0630 headed north to new waters. Stopped by Lundy Lake to wet a line-not a lot of action for us from shore water was pretty low for trolling, but we enjoyed the scenery. Kept heading north, stopped at Bridgeport Reservoir tried the dam area-but no joy. Saw the fly-guys working down the East Walker River. Headed back to the loop to catch the late afternoon troll bite-fish had better size, we got some nice ones and farmed a few too. 10/1 Fished 1st part of morning-same results consistent troll bite up to 11am. Overall it was a fun trip, everyone we met up here were cool and we look forward to next year’s trip. Will post some pics later after I download to photobucket.

smokinflies,

Here are a couple of shots of Lundy, lake was pretty low-a couple of folks said the waterline used to be to the tree line. Would like to return and try this lake from a boat/tube:

Vince,

Thanks for the report and pictures!:Cool:

It's been quite a while since I've been up that way. The June Lake Loop was always one of my favorite summer vacation places.

I'll see you at HG-4!:Thumbs Up:

Found a few honey holes that year.

Gonna hit it up next weekend. hope to find more holes from the tube this time. Gotta tube it early mornings. Wind starts to pick up during the day.

lundy is a huge lake when it's full.

Wow, that was pretty low water levels back in 2011, hopefully mother nature will fill'em back up. Good luck on the tubin-that's some pretty country up there.

Lots of cool pictures, I think that is the lowest I have ever seen Lundy....Silver Lake will always be one of my favorites. I'm sure you had a blast, thanks for sharing!
