What a cool trip that was. I’m looking forward to doing this again soon. Next time I’ll try to take more pics, but it was so nice and we were busy fishing, that I forgot to take many pics. Here are a few that I did take

Iceman’s Kayak Delivery Service

Paul & Grego at our Hwy 6 launch spot

John is one fishy dude

Ron in his sit inside

I could do this all day

Andy getting ready for a section of rapids

Sup Andy

Steve in the Moken

The man that took our Jackpot money…

The yaks were a pretty cool way to explore the river.

Paul

Lots of cows sharing the river with us

Rainbow

The Sierras

Grego hooked up

My best hookup of the day

Looks like a great trip.......first SUP down the Owens river?

A few years back stinky matt and i made a few 24 hour trips ...so much fun but you do need atleast two people to carpool with...looks like you all had fun even if the fish is only 1 lb.

Hah! I have been planning to do this for several months now.... just didn't think to post here to set up a group to do it. Several guides market this trip, but they say 12-16" fish...... looks a bit smaller.

Looks like you need at least two vehicles.

Congrats on a fun trip. I'll do this soon..... anyone wanting to set one up, pm me. But I am sleeping over night on both ends in Bishop...... a nice comfy bed, nice breakfast, dinner, etc....!

^There were larger fish. Eagle Eye's jackpot was a 20-inch rainbow, most likely an Alpers. He had a second that size. Someone else did too. My brown was right at a foot.

Epic trip, next time I'm doing the whole thing from the upper Owens all the way to Big Pine, at least 100 miles (yeah right). Some day.

Looks like a blast. Paul when you want to do a long trip let me know, I am all in. Think the Commander would be good for that trip probably.
