Mammoth Area Flyfishing

[mrg85]

Hey all,
Just got back from a 2 day excursion to the eastern sierras. This was an odd trip for me in that I used streamers exclusively, worked everywhere I went. The upper owens was great, punk perch, woolybuggers and matukas did the trick.

Spent at afternoon on mammoth creek, woolybuggers again. Good for some planted bows and browns.

Also hiked back to some beaver ponds. An olive woolybugger stripped slow did the trick on this guy

Nothing of size this trip but still great fun on the little ones. I did have something big break me off on the upper O. They say fish are moving up from crowley, so it could have been one of those. Ill be back up next month

.....and the pictures aren't working. Never happened to me before, anybody know how to fix?

I had a problem with pictures recently. The path and names were too long.

Nice trip and photos!

I recognize that beaver pond from other photos -- have always wanted to make the hike up there, but haven't had a chance yet. Is that creek also fishable on the hike up? From Google Earth, it looks pretty thin and rocky.

[mrg85]

wait, are the photos visible to you? Yes the creek is fishable all the way up. Its very thin, rocky, and brushy, technical fishing. Ive caught some decent browns right off the trailhead, as you hike up the browns disappear and bro oks and rainbows show up. I saw some BIG. hunchback brookies in that beaver pond

Ahhh no fish porn!

Congrats on a successful trip though

To view photos: just "open in new tab" (on ipad: hold down on the link and select "open in new tab" ; on Windoze computer: right click on the link then select "open in new tab".

On Chrome I just clicked the broken picture and it comes up in a new tab.

Looks like you used the .html links (Called "Email and IM") instead of the .jpg ones (called either Direct or IMG).

Thanks for the info. I wonder what makes some beaver ponds fill up with tons of stunted brookies, and others that have just a few, large ones? That one seems to be too far from the trailhead to get any significant fishing pressure.
