Eastern Sierras - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

The little Bugs were crawling! I set 4 traps with chicken and a can of cat food for two nights and this morning I collected about 60 mixed sizes.
We kept about 40 nice sized ones for a boil tonight and released all the little guys.
They were DELICIOUS

I was very surprised to see so many in the traps with the water temp between 46 and 48

Another surprise was the number of berried females.
Fishing was slow today at Silver lake. Sooooo we’re headed to Convict tomorrow for the last day of the trip. We’re hoping for a repeat of some Big hookups?!
