Trout Fishing Mammoth Lakes - Alpers Trout Here I Come - Tackle

Tuesday, July 18th, 2006

Quick Tips on Catching Alpers Trout in The Mammoth Lakes and Which Lures to Use. The Answer find may be Simpler than you Think.
In about two weeks I’ll be heading out on my annual Mammoth Trout Fishing trip. One thing I always make sure to stock up on before I go is my assortment of tackle and to be honest, it’s actually quite simple. Since I don’t fly fish or float tube my tackle stays pretty minimal.

These are the things I make sure to have upon arrival at the lake:

  1. Thomas Buoyant Lures (Red/Gold 1/4 oz.)
  2. Light Line (Vanish 2 - 4lb. test line)

That’s it. It’s simple. I honestly see no point in trying to get all detailed and technical when really, if you’re just casting off the shore or a boat, the assortment should be pretty straightforward. If things work out well, you should catch your limit or at least half your limit by the time noon hits when the fish get lethargic or spooked and go into hiding. That’s when you can dock and take a break, or use bait and sit it out for a few hours before sundown.

Remember in order to be successful you have to hit the lake as soon as you can, usually two hours after sunrise.

Also remember when on a boat to stay quiet, the sounds resonate into the water, and trout get spooked easily, especially when fishing in shallow water.

TIP: When using light tackle with Buoyants you can really feel the action. If you don’t feel a slight resistence when retrieving your lure, try a different angle or “twitch” the rod a bit to get it going.
