Pete,

What are the best fish to fish for in the Owens River OUTSIDE of trout?

Hi Jon,

There are bass in the lower stretches of river where it's warmer, but I have not fished for them. Catfish too, I hear. There are lots of tiny bass in the Buckley Ponds just east of Bishop. They're mixed with small brown and rainbow trout and are fun to catch with ultra-light gear. I usually fish the Ponds for an hour or so with friends on the afternoon before the trout opener.
