Stockers Hold Deep, Alpers
Stay On Inlets

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!
