A thread about fishing.....just for the halibut.....
- Thread starter hal9000
- Start date
People here eat a lot of fish. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and in between. The prices I see here, well my wife sees - El Ogro doesn’t shop, are way less - 200 pesos/10 bucks a kilo would be high for most fresh fish. This would be in Zihuatanejo. We’re having medallions de atún tonight.
Nobody is catching anything locally. That should change when it rains enough for the river to blow out.
Fishermen are all fvckin liars. Myself included. Some lie more than others. Keenfish and QSurf come to mind.

You guys have done tons of logging lately. Most I've seen in a lifetime up there.
Explore Reddinger Lake area for fishing. Check out exact geographical center of CA for fun. It's very close to the lake and has geo marker. Also google 'million dollar road stevenson'. Beautiful waterfall. Worth the walk or bicycle ride.
Below Reddinger check out Kerckhoff Lake. There is a trail on east end of lake to go upstream a bit where San Joaquin flows in. Watch out for rattlers of course.
Shaver, take road to Dinkey. Turn off at 37°05'49.9"N 119°16'17.6"W and take dirt road to back of lake. Park at bridge, walk across, and hike into the cove where river flows in. Some big trout hang out back there. You probably work at this spot since so much logging happening back there.
Courtright, if you want to hike, check out Helms Creek trail on east side, or Cliff Lakes trail on west side. Cliff lakes leads to a handful of epic small lakes and some small mountain peaks you can summit such as Dogtooth. Also, there is a cave nearby, and an old dry riverbed/waterfall area where you can find natural crystals. I don't want to say exactly where but maybe you can explore near one of these small lakes and discover something awesome.
Wishon, drive across dam, follow road to dirt turn off for Rancheria Trailhead (left u-turn). Drive to 37°00'16.5"N 118°56'36.6"W. There is volcanic rock looking formation. Climb to the top with some beers, and enjoy the sunset 1500' above Wishon.
Wishon, drive across dam to this spot. 36°59'15.0"N 118°58'09.6"W. There is hidden trail behind the campground. Short trail, maybe a mile to this awesome tiny hidden waterfall. Don't go past the waterfall as it's all private property.
Also, if you could, on the Rancheria Road above Wishon, please take one of your chainsaws and clear a tree for me. You'll know which one it is, when it scrapes the sh!t out of the side and top of your vehicle when you drive under it. Also, pack it in, pack it out. Don't leave anything but footprints, please.

Good to know, Q! I have a buddy taking his kids on a trip from SF to Oregon/Washington next month, he asked if I knew of any fishing opportunities in your area. I'll send him your way.Shameful self-promotion!!! Come fish with me here in Oregon - I'm running an Erbbros discount.
Typical inlaws. So misinformed.
Kaiser Pass to Florence/Edison is open.
The following campgrounds are OPEN
- -Mono Creek Campground
- -Mono Hot Springs Campground
- -Vermillion Campground
- -Ward Lake Campground
When crossing, get out of vehicle and check water levels. Make sure you have 4WD with decent clearance. And don't slow down if the water is high.
You can also do dispersed camping around Florence Lake, if you take one of the trails around the lake.

well not entirely informed. Jackass meadows is closed which is where they'd like to stay. We're more than willing to stay down the creek but that really sucks about the fire restrictions ;(Typical inlaws. So misinformed.
Kaiser Pass to Florence/Edison is open.
The following campgrounds are OPEN
Jackass Meadow Campground is still CLOSED. However, you can offroad across the river at 37°17'00.1"N 118°57'43.8"W where dispersed camping is allowed. However, campfire restrictions are in effect and to operate gas/propane stove stuff, you will need a permit.

Dang have you sever seen that creek crossing impassable? Never heard of them talking about that and they've been going for 50 plus years.
Yes, I've seen it impassible after heavy winters and late winters, but only in the Spring. Sometimes it will get debris such as logs and rocks in the way. Always visually check it first to be safe. I've also been going up there a lifetime but not as old as your inlaws
The fire restrictions I think may be a permanent thing, after the past giant wildfires in CA.
The crossing.
I came dead last in a halibut filleting competition at Homer Alaska when I was working there.
had a few too many nerve settlers at the salty dawg beforehand, if memory serves.

Yep! The whole family has swam in the hole just to the left, and caught many o' fish there. crazy, first time I went there I had just met my wife and they took me there. That whole region has the best car camping I know of.Yes, I've seen it impassible after heavy winters and late winters, but only in the Spring.

Edison Lake area is always fun, skate the overflow up to the lake if its empty!
Take the free? ferry across the lake and fish the inlet. If you stay up there, you can ferry across the lake like a backpacker, camp overnight and fish, ferry back the next day!
