The fish that Gary caught was tagged and part of the Eastern Sierra Second Summer Derby and won 2 spools of Seaguar Flourocarbon line. Fall Lodging Specials: See our fall lodging specials below...we have some really affordable packages coming up for that last getaway to the Eastern Sierra. Weather: Daytime highs in the low 70's and evenings in the low 40's. Looks like clear, sunny and calm winds all week...perfect fall weather! Here is a local site that is usually quite accurate www.mammothweather.com. Tactics/Bait: NeedleFish lures are working well this week along with PowerBait and night crawlers are the best baits to use this week and the South Shore seems to still be the most productive area to fish. If trolling go 6 or 7 colors. Fish are being caught all around the lake this week. Locations to try are the Inlet, Outlet, North Shore, South Shore, Creek, Jetty, Handicap Pier and Hangman's Tree. Here is a list of other baits/lures that can be productive: TroutKrilla, Trout Teasers, Midges, Panther Martin, NeedleFish, Thomas Bouyants, Green Wooly Booger, White Mini Jig and PowerBait.
