The big news this week was a double stocking of trophy Alpers Rainbows that hit the water on Friday. Part of the load was courtesy of Inyo County and the Bishop Chamber of Commerce and the rest were purchased by Parchers Resort. South Lake staffers were extremely excited to see some huge Rainbows in this batch of fish - easily the biggest fish stocked in South Lake since 2008. Some of these monsters were estimated to be in the 8 to 9lbs. class.

Anglers are still finding a solid bite on holdover 'Bows, Browns & Brooks using a variety of baits and artificial presentations. Pink or orange gulp trout worms were a top producer this week along with salmon eggs and Silver/Blue Thomas Bouyants. Trollers are picking off some fish but the lure tossers and bait dunkers are still doing best. The DFG has not stocked yet this season but we're expecting a stocking this coming week as the water is now high enough to get the fish from the truck to the water.
