For those seeking Trout Fishing Information, Tips and Techniques!

Trout Fishing Information is often hard to come by, especially on the west coast and those who fish on lakes. There’s plenty of information on fly fishing in rivers and streams, but for the rest of us who don’t have that luxury I’ll be trying to gather and share as much information as possible. Unlike bass fisherman who remain secretive with their information, Trout fisherman are very open about their information, however, they are well aware that there is plenty of skill involved, something that cannot be openly shared, simply experienced, and of course, knowledge is power, and the Trout Fishing Information found here I hope will be a valuable tool to all those who come visit the site.

Summer Season

Thursday, May 4th, 2006

Where the fisherman need to run to, when the Trout Run from the heat.

Since Trout are cool water fish, it’s especially hard to get in good trout fishing action, especially in the southern west coast areas. Most of the lakes in the desert states are devoid of any trout and don’t see any action until the fall when the colder weather kicks in.

However there is no reason the action has to stop. I live in Southern California and by the time summer hits, trout fishing is all but non-existent with the local lakes stocking catfish. What that usually means for me is that I need a change in environment. I look forward to summer fishing season because it takes me to the north, the Sierra’s and Mammoth to be exact.

Mammoth is an excellent place to fish for trout. Alpers trout are stocked extensively in the area; Passed the village into the Mammoth Lakes area, such as Twin Lakes and Lake Mary. A few times I ventured into Devil’s Post Pile and fished the random bodies of water within and found myself a nice 12 pound male Alper.

The Kern River is also an excellent place to fish, although the sizes of the fish don’t merit much bragging rights, but it’s a fun place to fish - if you can avoid snagging the passing kids and kayakers.

Just remember to find cool areas of water; your local mountains and valleys may hide trout fishing secrets you have yet to untap.
