Havent seen any posts in awhile. Forgive me if I take you on a slight detout
I went to PVR(Pleasant Valley Reservoir) in Bishop twice in the past 30 days. Both times it was wide open. Easily 50 fish each time. Fished from 8 am to 2 pm. Everything works. from Power bait, worms, eggs, to lures . I am not joking when I say, there wasnt anything that I tried that didnt work. Focused on lures because they allow for easier release. We did keep a few bleeders
We came in from the power plant. Road out bikes in to the launch ramp, which is about 1 1/2 miles from the power plant. An easy walk, but the bike is sooo much better. I was catching fish closer to shore (25 feet and closer). But some guys where using a casting bubble and a power worm< They were casting out 40-50 yards. Allow it sink and slow retrieve> pink power worm worked the best
Most fish are your cookie cutter DFG planters, but an occassional 14"-16" With this section of water, you never know what will hit,. It could be a 5 lb alpers or a double digit brown. Worth a trip my friends.
This is a short trip from Isabella, but certainly worth it.
