Fishing still on fire if you know what you're doing. Everyone was happy as they loaded their limits into their vehicles. Weather took an upturn and we got another great week of beautiful weather, mornings have been running 41 to 47 degrees. Afternoons are breezy giving the fish better cover making it easier for the angler also. Wednesday turned up some hail from southern Bishop area to northern Mono County. DFG is still stocking their weekly poundage, and the fishing has been sensational.

Weather for the week:
Sunday: Clear skies am some clouding pm.
Monday: Clear am with some high thin clouds, slight breeze most of the afternoon.
Tuesday: Clear and warm.
Wednesday: Slight am breeze, thin high clouds with red sky at 6:25am but hailed in the afternoon, and I got caught in it up at Treasure Lakes.
