Was all over the river ... from lower end of PVR to south of Big Pine without much luck. May have saved the trip with a 3-4 lb. rainbow on a mice tail. It was a purdy fish ... I wondered if it was an Alpers. Got home and wondered if I should have tried some mini-jigs. Duh. Anybody had success with them on the river. My Acadia has 4w drive ... but not a lot of clearance ... so I wasn't sure about trying some of the turnouts between 5 bridges and Hiway 6. Are there any easy turnouts? Seems like the river in that area was pretty shallow.
At Line and below there were some nice pools ... but no love. I used crawlers ... power eggs ... and some mice tails ... also a little bit of PMartins but maybe should have used lures more ... got one hookup on a black and gold #6 which is supposed to be the best. Mac's said that some people were having some luck with salmon eggs. Next time I'm hoping to use wife's electric wheel chair and trek on below the PVR power plant. If I can have half of TOnly's success I'll be happy. Saw a ton of people at the lower entrance but not many cars parked at the upper end ... Hmmm
BTW ... twice I saw a little brown critter running up the shoreline ... and then swimming in the Owens ... cute little guy - chocolate brown - about the size of a small dachshund ... any ideas what it was? (No ... it wasn't a lost dachshund ...lol)
Gotsta learn to use crickets. Man ... how do you catch and hold those lively critters!
