I fish the Lower Owens 30 plus times a year and I have never had a problem with any of the drift boat companies. A few years back I was about 2 miles south of Line street and hooked a beautiful 4 pound fish on a lure, a Sierra Drifters boat approached, stopped their drift for a few minutes to allow me to land and release the fish.
Agreed with above. Drifted with Sierra Drifters this past winter and past a few shore anglers and space / respect was their concern always. They know the shore spots are limited and gladly gave up a fishy spot to allow space for the shore guys.
$500 a day seems high? Is that correct? ... for 2 persons?
Must be a full day ... rather than a half (don't know if it can be done in a half day)
DF ... by chance is that Phil holding the boat?
P.S. "class of '62" ... I believe you told me we were close in age ...

Sierra Drifters website and pricing. Fishing guides always expensive but remember there are boats involved also.

Current Full day price is $410 for two people, $310 for half day. Yes that is Phil holding the boat. I have never been disappointed with the effort Phil takes to put his clients on fish and the education lessons are priceless. I have always tipped Phil $100 each trip and it has been worth every penny.Originally Posted by billy b
Here is a pic of Phil releasing one of my Crowley pigs.
Heck , you don't need a guide ,just get your own boat . I have been on many drifts ,8 to 11 hours fishing time . After two drifts you will know the good spots . I have a pontoon boat 300$ , works great . And a 8 foot fiberglass drift boat 400$ good for 2 guys . A rubber raft works also ,I have been many times on my Raft . But I will say the drift from Bartel Rd to Stewart lane was not productive . Its too much fun
