Had to get outta town for a few days, so son Sean and I headed up to the Sierras.
Left at 3am and by 7, we were pulled up to our first spot: ![]() Pulled out the baitcaster with a Purple Senko and let it fly, first cast, first fish. Set the hook and let Sean do the rest: ![]() Got around to launching the tubes and caught 30'ish bass before noon, most in the 12-14" range. It's nice to take a shot of a fish and not have to worry about blurring out the background ![]() ![]() ![]() After a quick lunch, Sean decides he's gonna catch a few bluegills by hand and he is going "commando". No fish, but he did manage to slip and get fully dunked! ![]() Friday we decided to find some snow and try out North Lake for trout ![]() We found enough snow for a good snowball fight and managed to catch quite a few small rainbows wild brook/brown trout. ![]() On the way down the mtn we stopped by a small stream-fed pool for lunch. ![]() As we ate, we noticed the pool was full of trout. 2 hours later, and about 50+ fish released, we were done. Sean hooked up: ![]() ...and another ![]() Back to bassing on Saturday, with this the last fish/cast of the day: ![]() Finished up Saturday night with another outstanding dinner at Rossi's and back home by 7am today. As a side note, I saw more CHP on this single trip than any other trip up the 395. Friday there were 8 CHP cruisers between Bishop and Big Pine, plus many more between the 5/14 junction and Big Pine.
