I typically fly fish and sometimes throw some spinners on the Owens. I've never used mouse tails on the river, but I'm always open to trying new baits. I did use mouse tails this past weekend at Convict Lake and slayed them!
@@deadlymate5974 Mini jigs, like the ones by Sierra Slammers (www.sierraslammers.com), are great, but you've got to be out deep enough so they can be tough to fish from the bank. Spinners and Spoons (Panther Martin, Rooster Tails, Thomas Buoyant) are great choices and you can typically cast them a long way on an ultra-light rod and reel set up using anywhere from 2-6lb test. We had really good luck last weekend using Berkley floating power worms (we were cutting the heads off our mouse tails and just using the red worm. Red is a killer color! Check out these trout worms from Sierra Slammers (www.sierraslammers.com/product-page/trout-worms-vivid). Rig up the worms with a split shot and you'll get hit, I promise you. I heard the lake was just stocked today with 600lbs of trout. Nine of them are tagged for a chance to win prizes. Have fun!

Thank You! What lures do you think would work in convict lake? I’ve tried spoons and flies but haven’t caught lots.
