That's been my favorite place to fish Silver, for seventy years now. Caught a 9.9 lb. brown there in fall of 2022, in full spawning colors. Caught it on a Kastmaster brown trout pattern. Thanks for the tips on fishing jigs and minnows. We saw you guys fishing the Silver inlet last year, but I was too tired to hike over to meet you.
@@SeaSpankerOutdoors It was the biggest, most beautiful trout I've ever caught in the Sierra in 71 years of fishing up there. Had it mounted by Trout Taxidermy in Mammoth, and Rich did a fantastic job on it.
@@SeaSpankerOutdoors yup one of mine too..I'll be leaving end of month to twin lakes for a week fishing fish fest tournament..I'll be throwing the spartin..tight lines gsf
Hey man. Love the vids. I’m doing a 3 day trip in October to Mammoth. If you had to pick 3 lakes in the Mammoth/June Loop area to fish, which 3 are you going with?
You cant just stop at 3 in October haha. October/November is the best time of year to go! As it starts cooling off the trout start eating alot as they are preparing for the winter ice. Im a big fan of Mary and George in the Mammoth area. I also love Lundy and both the virginia lakes (little & big). Fall is also spawning season for browns so dont forget to give Grant and Crowley a chance 🤘
What are your thoughts on fast moving waters, (lower and upper kings river in Fresno) using minnow or tube on a bobber with 3-5' depth? And power bait and eggs?
Definitely worth a try, depending on how fast the current is. If the current is reasonable it will definitely work as long as your bait is able to sink down to where the fish are holding in that current
Have you ever tried small hair jigs (1/64-1/32 oz) under a float? Works well for me in glass calm conditions and extremely windy conditions on lake michigan for steelhead
This time of year the trout are going to suspend in the water column. I would suspect anywhere between 5-15’ down from the surface. If it were me I would start off with a slipbobber rig.

Always great content that you put out Rob. Thank you for your expertise.
Thanks for watching 🙏
Another good job adjusting to get on the fish. I'm filing these tips away, can't wait to try jig fishing out there soon. 👌
Right on! Just stick with it and you’ll be hauling them in before you know it 🤘
Always a nugget Rob, I appreciate you and your Trout wisdom.
Thanks brother and thanks for watching 🙏
Enjoy those eastern sierra videos. I know how those winds up there can blow you off the water.
Haha ohhhh yes
Nice Spartan Minnow with paddle tail
Thanks. The Spartan minnows actually have a split tail 🤘
I hope I'll see you at santee lakes for the opening day
Very awesome catch. I hope I'll see you at santee lakes this fall of November 2nd and 3rd. Trout opener weekend.
Very informative, Thanks again!!
Awesome video rob such a beautiful view at silver..
Thanks brother. That view at the intake at Silver looking SW at Carsons Peak is definitely my favorite

Years ago I used to use those and they work extremely well 🤘
im going up to arrowhead soon, what rigs do you think will work best?

The Katana rods are currently in stock. Just message @gsfcustombaits or @katanarods2022 on Instagram and they will get you set up
