Roughing it in the Eastern Sierras

[Saba Slayer]

Mitchells Rig at June and at Beaver Cove at Crowley Lake where he was camped. He said the trout were boiling in the cove and he was getting both Rainbows and Browns from shore on the Hookup Baits.

Getting the hammock set up is always the #1 job

Carson Peak and Silver Lake make it hard to take a bad photo

A lot of the Trout were deep in Silver Lake at about 25' to 30'.
So, I've been trolling some lead core and working with the down rigger a bunch.
It's produced a lot of Released Brown Trout up to 16 inches.
Mostly on a small Lure Jensen with a small blade or the broken back Trout colored Rapalla.
Mitchel had some good luck at June and Convict with the deep stuff too and the Thomas Buoyant and the same color Rapalla.

Yesterday I fished Convict and it was SLOW. Only two Rainbows on the lead core with the same blue and white Lure Jensen. We fished back where the creeks come in and had breakfast back there too. It's so cool the way the Hobie seats come out of the boats to use on shore. Mt. Morrisson is so beautiful and Vertical!
Today I fished Gull and got skunked for the first time on the trip. Missed a couple of hits and got off the water just before todays thunderstorms moved in.

Got to watch this incredible fisherman the last few days along with the local Osprey too. It's a huge splash when they hit the water and can startle you if your not ready for it. LOL
Alger Falls and Horsetail Falls are both roaring and it's great to hear them all night long once the campground quiets down.

Looks Like a fun trip!
