Fishing the Sierra Nevada

[Bwana]

Any fishing overlanders in this group? I might make a trip to Bishop to fish the wild trout section, any advice? Would this make a good Rally Point?

My Advice is to clean that fish!!!!!

Seriously though.... ALL of my overlanding and camping involves fishing.

Fishing Bishop Lake, Kal Kellog has all the info… check out FishHuntShoot Productions on YouTube. He is a local fishing guide in the area and has a lot of tips and tricks on what works and doesn’t work when fishing the Sierra Nevadas.

I’ve fished most of the lakes and streams along 395, but it’s been 40 years. Many good times with my dad.

I really only have experience fishing the high country lakes we backpack to, but as I shift into using the truck more, I think we're going to have to hit the "jeep access" lakes and streams in the Eastern Sierra more. Darnitall, though: I'm gonna need bigger stuff to land those beasts like in the first photo! A 2lb'er is hefty at Thousand Island, Merced or even Bernice (before the de-fishing murder) and so we pack with ultralight reels and 4#.

I broke my fly rod catching that one. I've been keeping that location a secret for 25 years, maybe it's time I give it up and set up a rally point for the spring.

That would make a Heck of a great overlanding Rally Point!

This type of trip is perfect for a RP, figure out a date, location or locations and set it up.
If you have any questions dont hesitate to message me @Kent R or email Kent@OverlandBound.com

One of the main reasons I bought my JLUR was to fish the sierras. Been fishing that area since I was a little kid and I'm ready to hit the not so accessible spots with the Jeep as it has become so crowded the last few years.
