Try mammoth lakes lots of lakes and streams I use panther martin and nightcrawlers
Unless you're talkin about a different Silver Lake, it's about 140 miles from June Lake. With all the other lakes over there by Bridgeport, why drive all that ways. I'm not sayin don't, just wondering what Silver has that makes it that special?
Check out silverlakeresort.net. Went there a few years back. In restaurant on wall they had Trophy fish. One was a 17# plus rainbow. But it was so windy never got a bite. See you're from Lincoln, I was born and raised in Placerville. Small world.
Nice place. I go up through there to get to Ice House, Loon, Girle Creek and parts east. Just waiting for the snow to melt and the trout opener, and I'm heading up.
Each year my brother runs an outing up by loon lake, it is in a meadow below Loon. It is known as Stone Cellar campground, really enjoyable.
What you have now is good. I wouldn’t go heavier than 4 lb test. 2lb test is my preference.
For more distance get an longer rod, 6-1/2 to 7pm ultra light rod.
Bass Pro Shops has a nice graphite series and relatively inexpensive.
Okuma celeo light rod and a 2,000 size fluger spining reel eachch about $40. works great for casting. try Fish, Hunt ,Shoot on yutbe and go to Cal Kellogs website for other deals

Thanks everyone for all the info, you guys are awesome
Go have a good time and report back with photos!
Stop at Big Pine, turn left at the light, 1 or 2 streets maybe (they both work), go right at the park and left into Baker Creek campgroud. No fee during the day
There are 2 ponds with trout or the upper creek has alot of trout, stockers and larger.
Try Tuff campgroud, right at Tom's Place. Rock Creek is level and wide nice place
Camp here too, space #22 is the best.
compared to turning left and going to upper campgrounds and lake
June should be nice.
I use live worms, little weihht. my husband uses salmon eggs, no weight
