Owen's River Ground Hogs Day - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

seaquinn · 02-04-2013, 01:29 PM

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.

I'll hold you to it. I'm more serious than not. I'd like to do it all in one go, but figure it may take several sessions, at least 2-3. The Commander would be fine so long as it's the shorty.

Ive got a Commander 12 Plus its so nice to stand on or sit a little higher.

I am all in, just have to plan it around the other trips this year and such. Would be a great trip. Maybe we could convince some of the other old school guys to come like LouDog and Pierpont or even CaboJohn (although that tends to make a fun trip into a rowdy fun trip haha)

Absolutely beautiful. Love the video Andy and great song choice!

That golden panther martin is the ticket up there. Any ducks on the river?

So tell me - when you do it again, would you still take the SUP, or change back to the yak?

That looks like a trip worth doing with the fly rod.
