Headed up to Bishop this last week with my Pops and a few friends. I personally have been doing this trip for over 20 years, but my Pops has been going up there since the 60's when you use to be able to camp along the Owens. We stay in a hotel and generally hit the Owens for a day and the Pleasant Valley Reservoir for a couple. We headed up there knowing that the water was going to be flowing fast and high, making for some tough fishing. And to boot, it was a full moon. Knowing this, I would never miss a chance to spend some quality time with my Pops as he is not getting any younger.
This was the bridge at Warm Springs Road and the Owens. Holy Shit the water was high! The water level here is generally 6-8 feet below the bridge allowing this area to have lots of shore which we enjoy fishing off of.
This is what we call the Swing, which is on the Owens between Line Rd and Warm Springs. We are usually able to fish down the embankment on the shore, but hell no this time. Water was hauling ass through here. My cousin caught a small Brown here, but otherwise we got skunked!
My Pops with the Reservoir behind him. We hit this for two days, and wow, the first time in years that we haven't even had a bite. I tried Castmasters and good ole Power Bait, and nothing. Still did not matter as the beer was always cold and the conversation with my Pops and friends was always entertaining.
