Beautiful weather was on the table for the entire week along with a buffet of fish. Bridgeport Fish Enhancement Foundation browns, Alpers Trout 2 weeks ago, and DFG dumping 500 lbs of really super looking fish along with added fish from Conway Ranch's Inland Aquaculture Group. Bait for the week was red power bait, garlic and plain yellow, pink power worms, and night crawlers Lures went off like a rocket with the top spot held by red/gold Bouyant, gold buoyant, fire tiger buoyant, silver Phoebe, and blue/silver Kastmaster.

Flies that got tugs were olive flashy wooly buggers, black, olive and dark brown Doc's TLS (Twin Lakes Specials), Griffith's Gnats, small Adams, grey hackle yellow (no tail), olive and black leeches, black Matuka, red throat olive Matuka and small emergers. The lakes were very busy and shoulder to should most of Friday, Saturday and tapered off a bit on Sunday. Parking was brutal with all the birders on Saturday, and the bird never showed up (smart bird), as he would have had no where to perch.

Virginia Lakes Resort is located near the top of Conway Summit between Mono Lake and Bridgeport, CA. We have everything you need to enjoy the Eastern Sierra. Check out our WEBSITE.
