Early in the am and the last hour of light for the day.....
Put on a clear bobber so it slides up and down your line and tie off on one end of a snap swivel. One the other end tie 3 ft of 4 or even 2 lb test line. At the end of this tie on a dry fly. Cast that sucker as far as you can and let it sit. Every now and then twitch you rod so your fly looks just like when a real one gets trapped on the water. Like it's vibrating on the surface. When the fly disappears under water take up the slack with your pole until you feel the fish load up your rod. Enjoy the battle!

For trolling, I would take along a Size 8 black and olive/black wooly bugger with a few beads and small chartreuse Mack blades.

It can get very windy in the June Lake loop. I would maximize your boat time by hitting the lakes early before the wind picks up. Gull Lake is a perfect Lake for a small boat. June and Silver not so much if there is wind. For bank fishing Gull is tough as there is a lot of brush around the shoreline. Grant has the best shoreline for bank fishing. Love the area good luck.


e=Lil Al]Hello all I'm heading to the Sierras to the June loop area for a 5 day camp fishing trip. I've always been kind of a bait and wait trout fisherman with power bait and mice tails being my go-to baits and I've never really fish for trout using lures so I'm hoping somebody out there can suggest some good lures to purchase to take with me I do have what is called a Mepps killer kit that has about 10 or 12 spinners in it that my dad left me but that's all I have any suggestions would be much appreciated Happy Father's Day to all you fathers out there[/quote]

Lil.... I was trying my best to remember the kind of fly. I don't trout fish much anymore since I became a bass addict. Maybe Spirit will read this and know. I remember him telling me he saw people using the same technique one time. I want to say Helagromite and Caddis but not sure.

Guys I've always had real good luck with a woolybugger - nothin fancy, just hairy. I start with black but I carry brown and olive also. I'll be adding purple, someone on here said not to neglect the purples ones. If I were gonna try a dry fly? Probably a terrestrial - a cricket or grasshopper pattern? I be guessing. I reckon it would depend on what I saw flying around out there.

Ask the local bait shop in Lee Vining what they are biting on and also the Marina's at the lake. Was at Silver Lake a few weeks ago and the only thing they were hitting on from the bank was salmon eggs. But the bite changes day by day.
