South Lake & Bishop Creek Fishing Report

Stockers Hold Deep, Alpers Stay On Inlets

8-24-08

South Lake Report

The fish went even deeper last week with most of the fish holding near the 40ft mark. The flasher/crawler or flasher/powerworm combo is still accounting for most of the fish caught on the troll but some fish were also biting on various needlefish and Thomas Bouyant patterns.

Bait and jig anglers were finding a decent bite at the Gilbert Glacier inlet but the Long and Treasure inlets were a bit on the slow side. A ton of 2lb fish were being caught on Orange Powerworms, Chartreuse Gulp Eggs and Chartreuse Powerbait the Gilbert Glacier. Jeff & Marianne Krpan managed solid limits of fish to 2lbs using Yellow/Green Turbo Dough.

The lake level is continuing to slowly drop and we've lost about 2 1/2 ft thus far this month.  Boats are still clear to launch and we're expecting the launch ramp to be good to go through the end of the month.

Also of note, the Bishop Creek Canyon Fall Classic is just around the corner. Inyo County and the Bishop Chamber of Commerce will be stocking all canyon waters, including the creeks, with Alpers trout including several tagged trout worth up to $300 cash.
 

South Fork Bishop Creek Report

Creek fishing has been somewhat inconsistent this week but most folks are scratching out limits of both DFG fish and Alpers to 4lbs. The South Fork is due to be stocked this coming Friday with Alpers, just in time for the holiday weekend!!!

Adopt-A-Creek  in partnership with the Piute Palace Casino are still stocking Alpers with bright orange tags worth $25-$100 in casino credits. Five of these tagged fish will be put in the creeks, North Lake & Intake II each week!

Lunkers of the Week!!!
