Bishop Creek Drainage
The recent weather up Bishop Creek has been fantastic. Daytime temps are holding in the 70s and provide great relief from the dog days of summer. The mosquitoes have headed up higher into the mountains, making for relaxing days at the lower lakes.
At South Lake, the water level is still low but is holding. The fishing has slowed up a little, but nightcrawlers or rainbow Gulp has been catching fish. Thomas Buoyants and LipRipperz have also produced strikes. Fishing from the shore has been a little slow. Try tossing salmon eggs near the inlets or Gulp.
Fishing the creek lately, has bee a great way to get hooked up. Salmon eggs and worms are working well. Tossing woolly buggers and red-throated black wooly worms at Weir Pond or the bigger pools, like under the Tyee Lakes Bridge has also produced strikes. Hiking a little up or down the creek from the standard pullouts was the best way to find fish.
North Lake slowed up a little bit as well. Powerbait or fly-and-bobber fishing with an live woolly bugger were the best techniques. Float tubers had success with red Panther Martins.
Intake II continued to produced limits with worms and Panther Martins being a good bet. Tossing white mini-jigs with a meal worm also was a hot ticket. The key was using light leader in the 2-4 lb. test range.
Scott Clark landed a real beauty in the creek: a 3-lb. 6-oz. fish caught with salmon eggs. Young Barto Sturr also used salmon eggs to catch a 2-lb., 11-oz. ’bow out of South Lake.

Bridgeport Twin Lakes
A little bit of wind and weather kept the temperatures perfect up at the Twin Lakes last weekend. The fishing stayed hot, though.
The Thomas family from Lancaster weighed in five fish that, combined, topped the scales at 15 lbs. Barbeque dinner party at the Thomas’, eh? Yellow Powerbait was the family’s ancient Chinese secret. Ferris Thomas took the day off to win family bragging rights. The wheel on the scale went round and round as Ferris weighed his 3-lb., 13-oz. rainbow.
Tina Jackson of Carson City was using chartreuse Powerbait when a lunker came calling. the 5-lb., 4-oz. beast gave her quite a fight.
Pete Rozell of Brea, was able to commission a 3-lb., 15-oz. rainbow to hit his pink Tasmanian Devil. Rozell picked the fish up while trolling the lake.
In addition to the big trout, anglers are having fun with pan-sized rainbows and also smaller browns.

Lake Sabrina
The fishing was on an upswing up at Lake Sabrina the past week. Fishing the inlets with worms, wooly buggers or jigs was putting smiles on faces. For those motoring around the lake in a boat, trolling worms and flys along the shore or up against the rock plies was landing fish. Baiting up with a nightcrawler or Powerbait from shore was a relaxing way to get hook-ups.
The temperatures cooled down a little last week, which was great. Highs in the 70s greeted anglers with some mild afternoon winds.
A couple of real beasts were caught over the weekend. Ryan Hofmeister of Murrieta brewed up a real dinosaur, landing a 5-lb. rainbow with a wooly bugger. Shawn Murphy of Temecula laid down the law, putting the heat on a big-ole 6-lb. rainbow.
Marcy Randleman of Rosemont was trolling a nightcrawler when a 2-lb. brown struck.
