Fishing Tips for Bridgeport Area
wshawkins:
Well actually, the road is always open. They do not plow this road; they just let the snow melt naturally. So call and see what condition the road is in and if the creeks are safe to cross.
For Leavitt Lake, first get away from the north end of the lake where the bait crowd fish. Hike around to you see a sharp drop-off. There are many good fishing holes on this lake. You can sight-cast to the brookies, and cast out just beyond the drop-off for the Bows. Streamers (Woolly Bugger), Nymph's (Hair's Ear, Pheasant Tail, Copper John's), Dry’s (Caddis, Ants) all work at Leavitt Lake. Light Lures are productive too. Fish average 10”.
Ski Lake, Dry Fly’s did well (Black or Red Ants, Black Gnat or Mosquito). Small lures work too. Fish Average 8”.
High Sierra:
I fished Leavitt Lake, last time being in Fall of 2010. The creek crossing were almost dried up by then. Woolly Buggers (Olive or Black) in size 6-8 did OK for me. I agree with Hawk, hike away from the crowd to fish. The fishing is better on the other side anyway. Wish I knew about Ski Lake Golden s! :puzzled:
Scott:
Thanks for the advise on these lakes. Any special fly works at Kirman Lake?
wshawkins:
Kirman has both brookies and cutthroat, and has special regulations (Artificial flies or lures only, barbless hooks, 2 fish limit, 16 inch minimum). It's not uncommon to catch brookies in the 2 to 4 pound range and cutts in the 20 to 24 inch range in this incredible trophy trout lake.
Because this is a trophy trout lake and would like to keep it as such, no fishing secrets given over this open forum. Sorry.
Scott:
OK, I understand. If anybody would like to pm me on what works at Kirman, would really appreciate it.
Same goes for Poore/Secret and Roosevelt/Lane Lakes. What fly works best and what type of fish is there and ave. sizes of fish caught. Don't care if your information is old. Thanks all!
