In this Part 2 episode we travel to Lee Vining and the Mono Lake area to check out Rush Creek. We also flyfish Hot Creek and the Upper Owens River and camp within the forest near Mammoth Lakes, California. My buddy Shawn brings his Gen 3 Tacoma and I bring my Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited for an amazing camping adventure. We cook some great meals on the Tembo Tusk Skottle which are all made with pre-cooked food from Costco and we flyfish the local rivers with postcard views of the Eastern Sierra's in the background. We had several days of tough fishing but with a Redemption Day at the end that made it all worthwhile!

Some notes about this video: 1. Although I thought I was well below the Hot Creek Geological Site to the point where water temperature should not be an issue, I have been told that the lower section I was in may be too warm for decent trout fishing. Best to fish the upper section between the private ranch and the Hot Creek Geological Site. 2. When fishing the Upper Owens River it is best to stay out of the river to avoid disturbing trout habitat which was a mistake made only at one location during the entire time we were on this river. We will make sure to note that in future videos.

Great video I love the Mammoth area. Man where is that campsite it looks amazing? Would love to find some dispersed camping up there, hate having to book campsites 6 Months in advance.

@flyfisher530 14 күн бұрын

North or south of Owens River Road have dispersed camping even for large RV’s

Looks lime a fun time. The area below the geological site because of the warm water holds almost no trout just chuychubs. You have to go almost to the owens to get anything.

@@durtyflyadventures Now you tell me!!! LOL. Well thanks for the info. The guy I met have been fishing from the bridge crossing the lower section and was working his way up and had not caught anything so I assume you mean from the bridge crossing downstream to the Owens - that section. Will check out next time and thanks for the info Nick! 👍

@@flyfisher530 haha, ya even more downstream but honestly I would skip fishing that whole section. The upper owens is really the best spot especially if you cover a lot of ground

How were the skeeters & bugs? See shorts & short sleeves being worn. July 2nd, the buggers were fierce! Gnats, skeeters, no-see-must etc!!

@flyfisher530 14 күн бұрын

Yes where we camped they were not bad at all, but by the river they tended to get worse. I just put lots of bug spray on and went for it! I absolutely hate wearing waders and will avoid them if at all possible!
