Well, another season is officially in the books come 12:00am tonight. For some, 2008 was a good season. For others, it was a GREAT season. I personally made 4 trips up there and all were spectacular. Especially the last time I made it up there about a month ago. I fished North Lake and Bishop Creek (north fork) and caught 7 Alpers in one day ranging from 2 to 4 lbs. It was a great way to wind down another epic season in the sierras.
Now lets take a look back and have you post your best moment this season. Whether you have a nice pic to post or just a couple sentences, tell us about your most memorable moment of the 2008 Eastern Sierra Trout Season.
All we got to do now is wait for the last Saturday of April 2009! It'll come a lot sooner than you might think!
there's still open water up there and on the right winter day, bright sun, you can still scratch the itch to fish. Also a drift trip on the lower owens with Tom Loe of Sierradrifters can put you on 50 fish a day smack in the middle of winter. Great areas up there.
For me it was taking my first backpack trip into the eastern Sierra's, catching my first brook trout, going to Carson City to visit my aging grandpa and dad, and doing the fly thing as a newbie all on the same trip and all alone. This was a year that I'll never forget, and which will inspire me well into the future.
Here's to solo backpack trips! (although having company is nice)
My 12th year of retirement and I had 11 trips, 65 days of tent camping/fishing and I can't believe the season is over. Had great fishing on the Upper Owens, caught alot of fish but never caught any big ones likes years past.
Now I will concentrate on 6-10 days a month on the Lower Owens for Fall and Winter fishing..
Looking back at our annual trip in SEP08 and laying my eyes on Lake Sabrina for the very first time, I thank the Good Lord for creating such beauty for us to enjoy...
2008 is over! 11/15/08
