#72, "Help - Doing something new."

We are going on a vacation to Lake Tahoe and near Yosemite. I want to fish some when I'm there but know nothing about it. I am either looking to take my float tube to some small lakes or just fish streams/rivers. I've read Rob's pages on trout fishing so I probably have most of the techniques in my head. What I am wondering is what spots I should try. I guess we are primarily staying in Oakhurst, California (south of Yosemite) and South Lake Tahoe. Where should I fish? And if you have any additional tips that would be nice also. Thanks!

Matt,
Thanks, I was considering fly fishing but would rather spin fish. I'm one of those weird guys who knows how to fly fish but doesn't really like it that much. I prefer ultra-light spinning gear with spinners, spoons, and little crankbaits for trout.
I guess I should've mentioned that in my post.

When fishing the streams or lakes use a panther maartin. Try differtent types, usually ones that resemble trout. Another good technique is to fly line with your spinning reel a night crowler in the stream. you should do well. I wish i had more time to tell you more but i have to go now. i fish at the eastern sierras almost every year for the trout open and i usually do well.
Good Luck

Thanks for your responses. I primarily stuck to Panther Martins and Thomas Buoyants and did pretty well. Near Yosemite I fished the Merced and got quite a few Rainbows mostly on the T.B. Near Tahoe I went East into Alpine County. I fished the Carson River the first day and got 13 Rainbows and Cut-bows. I started using the T.B. but switched to a Rebel Wee-Crawfish because I read about Brown Trout being more carnivorous than others. Anyway it was awesome on the Rainbows and Cut-bows (that lure catches everything - even halibut!). I also fished a few small lakes in that area for some Rainbows - mostly on the Thomas Buoyant.
Next time it's going to be hiking and backpacking into the desolation wilderness.

I was talking about the Rebel Wee-Crawfish lure.
Also, halibut are not necessarily bottom feeders. They are "bottom livers". They come up and chase bait like any other preditor. I have caught numerous legal halibut in water 10 feet deep or more on lures that only dive a few feet. I have seen numerous halibut get airborne while chasing bait. In fact, I have caught one halibut (a 16 incher) topwater using a jerkbait like you would for largemouth bass. You, of course, have to watch for seagulls and stuff because they will usually find the lure before a halibut does.

The Rebel Wee-crawfish will catch halibut but you'll have better luck with a plug that resembles some kind of baitfish.
