Well, I'm back from the Sierras. We couldn't fish Crowley because of bad weather so the perch escaped. Actually, we could have roughed it but didn't because we had 6 kids from age 10 through 12. The thunder storms are an experience in the Sieras, so we fished from shore at Lake Mamie and Lake Mary and caught limits of planters for all. Inflated worms and power balls did the trick. My grand daughter caught a 5 pound Alpers for the biggest fish. By the way Lake Crowley is 30 miles north of Bishop on 395. You have to use artificial bait with barbless hooks. The tourney continues through August.
