Anaconda Report post Posted May 5, 2019 The road up to the high country opened. McKinley road to Wishon reservoir (7,000 ft ) in central Calif. Sierra Nevada Mt.s. (Courtright at 8,000 ft is still closed for a few more weeks) I couldn’t find anybody who wanted to hit the road at 3:30 am so I went up by myself, and was lines out trolling by 6:15 am. No size, mostly Rainbows between 11” and 17”, and one 16” German Brown. The action was non stop, I boated 43 fish, and lost a dozen more by 11:00 am. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PRDATR Report post Posted May 5, 2019 Same problem I have. Nobody wants to get up early to fish with the old man so I go solo 90% of the time. Been twice this year up north and biggest was 13" which is the norm for the lakes I fish. I smoked the last few I caught so they will be my lunch tomorrow.

You guys need to throw out invites the day before. I'd go if I lived nearby. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anaconda Report post Posted May 6, 2019 The lakes I usually fish are 2+ hours away. It takes me 30 minuets to un load and get ready (no trailer, a truck top boat) Dawn is about 5:30 AM, so I leave my house around 3:00 AM. Being out on a scenic high-country lake at the crack of dawn is how I relax, it's what I love. It’s a lot easier to jump out of bed at 2:30 am to go fishing than 6:00 am to go to work. I am usually the only one on the lake until after 8 AM. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
