The first step in planning is to identify the limiting factors. Do you have a certain species of fish you are after? How much time do you have to fish on this outing? Are you working within a certain budget? Answering these three questions will help you identify which trip is right for you.

Inyo County California- The Owens River stretches 120 miles, originating in the Eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains, then flowing through the town of Laws near the old railroad museum. The river is ultimately diverted to supply the Los Angeles Aqueduct. Trout season opened on the 24th and my friends were there to camp and catch some trout. The Highland RV Park in Bishop is nearby this great fishing destination.

Decent sunglasses will be…

• Shatter proof or impact resistant
• Have a comfortable nose piece
• Be fog resistant

Who has the best Southern California fishing excursion? I wanna go on it and review the trip on this website. I think it is only fair to make it an overnight or by minimum, full day. I will write a review [with pictures] of the outing.

A great trip would be on a nice boat where getting there is half the fun. No need to worry about rod and reel, bait or tackle. Just people who love being on the open water, hunting for fish.

I am not looking for a handout. A discount would be appreciated, but I expect to pay for my share. With that said, let the offers roll in. Please make yourself known in the comments or if you are shy or are so inclined, email us.

I wanna go fishing!
