Is that the first lake you stopped at and are going to keep heading north or are you just sticking to Convict and possibly Crowley (if it's not still iced over)?

Crowley has been ice free for over a week.
Staying at a friends house in Mammoth then moving over to Silver lake Friday morning when the campground opens.
I?ll be fishing mostly Silver when I move in there ����
That pic is from Twin Lakes in Mammoth.
If you zoom in you can see just a small hole where the falls are visible.
The road to the upper lakes is blocked with about 6? snow ��

The big one splashed at the net but came right in, the second one pulled line and tangled on my partners line. I thought we were going to lose it...LOL
Luck prevailed ��
Are you planning a sierra's trip this summer Mitchel?

Curious to know how you do at Silver. Haven't caught too many out of there last year as previous years but June was great and so was Grant. I don't bother with Gull where I mainly caught perch.

Thunderstorms

The weather pattern has changed to Thunderstorms.
Beautiful till about noon then showers around 2 or 3pm.
Fishing is slow at Silver, nothing Big so far.
Catching about 4 fish a day for each of us.
No Browns yet.
I'll set some Crawdad traps tomorrow morning.
The lake level is coming up so fast that water is seeping underground and flooding about a dozen campsites. I was lucky enough to arrive on the morning the campground opened for the season so the camp hosts gave me a new site up in the back of the campground. it's not next to the lake as I usually book, but it is the closest to Alger creek and the falls are roaring and seem especially loud at night, tons of frogs too since there's so much water, quite the natural orchestra.
