We fished around the bridge at the West Walker River, I got skunked while everyone else caught decent number of Trouts.
upstream on the West Walker River
Afterward, I drowned my fishing sadness with this large dipped ice cream at Jolly Kone in Bridgeport.
We had dinner at Roberto's in Mammoth
Their Burritos were huge!!
Day Four - Lee Vining below the Tioga Pass
I did much better on this day! The Trouts were BIG!
On this day I rewarded myself with another dipped ice cream (this time at Mono Cones in Lee Vining)
I had to clean alot of Trout!
We went to Burger's Restaurant in Mammoth. It was yummy!
I had a pint at the local Irish Pub in Mammoth after dinner; that was yummy too!
Day Five - After packing and checking out of our rental, we shopped at the Mammoth Villager.
There was one Trout there that I had no chance to catch!
on the way back to LA, we stopped off at Schat's Bakkery for Sheepherder Bread!
We spent two hours back at the secret Spillway spot to get our fishing done before going back on the road. Eugene and I both caught three more Trouts each. His were much bigger than mine!
It was a great fishing trip!!
