![]() ![]() Looks like productive water but nope…the water temperature was 43 degrees… No one was catching any fish with fly or spinning gear… Some other folks appeared while HERO and Ally keep a watchful eye on everyone. ![]() Michael works a nymph while HERO and Ally watch from across the canal… One can see the Eastside of Bishop from the canal…it holds Trout and Bass year round… We stayed long enough to eat and then headed down the mountain to fish the canal East of Bishop… A preview of the record Winter of 2022-2023… We did not expect this so early in November.

Some people just tie on the spinner but make sure it has a swivel or is set up to keep you tangle free. Be careful though, that braided can cut you. The braided lines need a stronger knot like a double Palomar or double uni. Use a double Palomar knot to a barrel swivel on your braided side then tie your leader to the swivel with whatever knot you feel comfortable with. With the braided line you will feel more of the action from your spinner and the leader will have a little give to it since it is flexible(mono). Use a shrimp oil or other oil that mimics what they ate out at sea. ![]()
