Understood- I try to touch them as little as possible when I am not keeping them to eat, that’s why I avoid a net and lots of time out of the water.

You should! The season usually opens around April 20-25, and goes to sometime in the fall. I haven’t gone in 12 years or so, but we used to go every year sometime between April and July.

Some of the trout are there around, but the majority of what you catch are going to be stocked rainbow trout. Weather and water flow are the two big things to think about, if the water is flowing too fast, it is basically unfishable in the streams.

I know we are in the same basic area- if you are ever near Brea stop by Fisherman’s Access. Jack and the guys are great, and can help get you set up. It’s really straightforward, #2 line is the key.

@@rohrsoutdoors okay thanks for all the info 🙌🏾

@FishingWithJRome happy to talk more sometime.

Fisherman’s Access- fifteen years ago.

It’s like a fine wine at this point.

@@rohrsoutdoors did they stop making them I tried looking for it but can’t find it anywhere

Fun times- it had been almost 12 years since the I have been to the sierras. Can’t believe I waited this long to get back.

@@rohrsoutdoors Wow! Well with such a great and fun video it seems like it was well worth the wait.

Heck yes- let’s pick a week.

Perhaps a different kind of palooza this year.

Thanks. I am already planning next year’s trip.

Have fun! It’s a cool little trail, especially after the spring rains.

5’ and 7’. Longer rods for lakes and casting distance. The shorter rods better for getting around in the brush.

#2 Izorline xxx for both.

Thanks.

It’s pretty short. I think you can do it in under two hours. It took a lot longer because we did a bunch of off shoots and stopped for lunch.

I am still trying to figure it out, but it seems like there are several ways for bass. It almost always seems to get bit on the sink or on a pause during a retrieve, I I mostly let it sink to a certain depth, wind 5-20 cranks, then let it back down.

Hookup Baits actually has their own RU-vid channel where they show how.

Glad you liked the video!

I have since heard it as well. There was nothing posted that we could see, and there were several people camped on the sand when we arrived, so it didn’t occur to me that it wouldn’t be okay.

check with local ranger stations, a lot of rumors about this but better to know for sure.

@@DIGITALCITY-wn4by correct, but in the absence of signs it’s hard to tell. I mostly try to enjoy the wilderness as I find it, in its most natural state. That is to say, that beach existed for a very long time without ranger stations.

That's where we usually stop for lunch, the river is really peaceful.

I am going to keep this one a secret, it is probably my favorite spot in all of Bishop.

@@rohrsoutdoors I fish eastern sierras every year honey holes are like knowledge , what’s the use if you don’t share . 🤷🏽‍♂️

Thanks!

Glad you like them!

I use Gaia GPS for land navigation and as a back on my boat. My sonar/gps on the boat is a 20+ year old Humminbird.

@@rohrsoutdoors Thanks for info.

@@henrysauceda4439 I am hopefully going to upgrade boats in a year or two, so I have been putting off getting a more modern unit. As primitive as it is, it still works great.

@@rohrsoutdoors it seems to work very good. Seeing taking your kids fishing reminds when I use to take my daughters fishing when they were little like yours . Now they are in early 40ths busy working. Continue to cherish those moments my friend .

I have 285s on a 3” Old Man Emu lift, and have been really happy with it.

Thank you!

That stinks. Trout fishing is so hit or miss it can drive you crazy.

@@rohrsoutdoors yea true just gotta keep tryiing great vid!

It’s a cool spot for sure.

Kind words, I hope so!

Very cool, I did not know that. Wild to think about people on horses and carriages on the same path.

For lakes and ponds I like to fish a Carolina rig. A fairly small sliding egg sinker with a Carolina Keeper or swivel, and then a 12”-18” leader. #8 Owner Mosquito hook. Bait is either a mouse tail or the Berkeley night crawler chucks.

I was just using #2 Izorline, no fluorocarbon.

Thanks, my first time back in a dozen years.

I appreciate the feedback.

I felt like I should be writing music. So peaceful.

Thanks, it was a fun bite.

I have no idea what that emoji means. Clue me in.

Yes. Several of the offshoots were closed off when I ran it, presumably due to rains. I took it north and ended up at Silverwood Lake.

@@rohrsoutdoors Cool brother! Thanks for the reply. I moved in the road from it and I always wondered where it led to or if we were even allowed in there. I will definitely check it out

Agreed, sometimes it’s where everyone ends up with the current drifting baits toward the stern when you were anchored.

Thanks. The fishing slowed down the next weekend, hoping it gets better for the coming weekend.

High praise! Thank you.

Thanks! Some rocks in 100’ off of Long Beach, basically due south from the Eastern end of the Wall. Lots of spots out there, and relatively easy to find with a sonar.

Old Man Emu 3” lift. It was really stiff at first, but after a few months smoothed out and is great.

I don’t know if you’re in the Orange County area, mine was installed by Rocktech.

Yes.

Email me and I can send it.

I was self filming, and every time I got out of the car and ran up the road to place a camera it was creeping me out.

I only saw three or four people the entire day.

@@rohrsoutdoors Sadly there was a plane crash on the bailey canyon trailhead just on Saturday

Yikes.

Snarky comment goes here.

Glad you like these videos- I enjoyed your channel quite a bit too.

Thanks

Not exactly my jam.

I hope so! Spring is happening, time to get my tackle and boat in order.

It’s serious, and constant.

It was odd that whatever bulldozed the road didn’t cut it back any.

Thanks, it was way cooler than I thought it would be. I think the fog added to the sense of adventure.

One of my favorite places- glad you and your son got out!

Good to know! I am debating heading up to Sugarpine Mountain / Cleghorn this week. Do you know if there is snow on the trail?

The trail they were making a right turn on is a dead end.

yes, its a dead end but the trail usually has a lot of snow cause its a canyon that doesn't get a lot of sunlight. @@rohrsoutdoors

@@rohrsoutdoors i don't think cleghorn has any snow.

@@DexOffroad Thanks! I ended up going Tuesday, and am posting the video today.

Let’s get out there again!

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks Stephen, it was a gorgeous day.
