Mammoth Lakes Basin 8/12/23 - Full to the top and then some.

Rod Size: 9ft #4 or #5 weights

Tippet Size: 3-5X

Leader: 9ft 4X

Best Techniques: Stripping streamers in the tube or under the indicator

Dries: Didn't see much up top, but maybe ant patterns

Haven't been up here in a bit, but if you feel like battling the crowds, go for it. I'll be elsewhere for the time being.
