Steveooo,

I was up in Mammoth last weekend to do some teaching with the Fire Dept. and try to get some fishing in but unfortunately it did not work out. The lower twin was like Alaska and the road blocked to Lake Mary. I stopped at Convict Lake on Friday and it was packed! Deck hand said it was busier than opening day! Kayaked that last year, awesome! A pair of Bald Eagles live in the trees mid lake to the south. Never been fishig with Bald Eagles flying over your head! The trout congergate to the south west near the inlet. Love that lake! Thanks for sharing the photos makes me feel like I went fishing. Oh I did see a big black bear walking behind the Best Westren Hotel at 1130 PM, looked ouside to see if it was still snowing. Took a picture of the foot print for my son...

Great report. Some beautiful fish and scenery.

Used to make trips up the the sierras every year growing up. Learned to fish in the Sierras starting at about 4 years old. Have fished both Twin lakes, Crowley, and Convict as well as June and Silver lakes. Absolutely amazing place to visit.

Impressive story. One of the few FJ's getting to see the terrain it wants to see. WTG.

Steve, you always have the best posts, few words and the best pics or videos. After seeing your pics, I cant' wait to go backpacking in July. I am going to get some high country rainbows and goldens and also some browns on the fly in the Owens.

Looks like you had a great trip, always nice to see the inspirational family outings.
