Thanks for the post! That looks absolutely awesome and peaceful.

I'm going to Silver Lake on Labor Day for a couple of days and then heading to Tahoe for the rest of the week.

Any advice on the bear box situation there?

Sounds like a fun trip. Not sure whats your exact question lol Each site has a large locking box. It's big enough for multiple coolers.

Ha I meant during the fishing season. But yeah now that I think of it, it sounds too hopeful. I'll be happy with 4 trips during the season.

Wow...that snow covered Carson Park is beautiful as a background.
Thanks for the report Beto...
There should be some good flow on Reverse Creek and Rush Creeks with all that water.
What was the lake level like...?
Did you drop any traps...?

I can't wait till the 28th to check-in to that great little campground and put the yak in the water for my first of three two week trips this summer.
Drop some crawdad traps and start slow trolling a Hookup Bait or a couple of mini 'smile blade' rigs I made this winter...oh yea...Heaven...!

Breakfast at the Resort is the best in the loop...just get in there early and you can usually beat the crowd.
That food truck behind the market in town has some great Poki...and there's always the Tiger Bar for a burger and beer break from camp food...LOL

A large bear box is supplied at each campsite along with a fire pit and a large picnic table...

IMHO the beauty of the June Lake Loop is that you have so many options when the wind picks up at Silver...Little Gull lake is often protected and the part of Grant Lake at the inlet with Rush Creek can be good too. Both Rush and Reverse Creeks are pretty protected from the wind also...or you can hike up Fern Creek and C&R a few little Brookies...a trip to Mono Lake is always good too, especially if you've never visited this unreal moonscape shoreline...

Man two week trips sound amazing. Hopefully with warmer water the bite picks up.

Water level is getting high. The rocks by the outlet on Rush creek are already fully submerged. With all the snow runoff I can see it being a problem for shore sites in the next month or so. At the least there will be no shore left for shore fishermen by the campground.

No traps this trip, forgot them

I even brought my old aerator for the trip back. Wanted them as fresh as possible.
