Fishing Report


October 5-11 --  Virginia Lakes Resort Fish Report - LAST REPORT FOR 2025

Weather:7am Temp  Sunrise/Sunset - Full (Super) Moon October 6-  Harvest Moon or Hunter's Moon

Sunday 28° -6:49/6:40 Fog cover and cold, but lifting slowly. Red sky on Conway but nice by 1pm great ripple on the lake.
Monday 30° -6:50/6:39 Very cold  BUT WARMING UP NICELY lots of anglers today.
Tuesday 31° -6:51/6:42 Cold and calm and lots of vehicles passing us as we left for the day at 10:30am.
Wednesday 41° -6:52/6:40 Windy but calming a bit.
Thursday 45° -6:53/6:39 Very Windy all last night and it blew all day and night.
 Friday 39° -6:54/6:37

Very windy all day, it's 4:25pm and it's calming down a little. Blowing hard again.

Saturday 45° -6:55/6:36

Wind blew all night. Three days of wind means SNOW. Oops, it's spitting snow now 9:30am but it won't last but a few minutes and the wind continued to blow all day.

NOTE: IF YOU USE A RAG ON THE FISH or YOU LET IT FLOP ON THE SHORE OR ROCKS WHEN REMOVING HOOKS, THE FISH IS YOURS PLEASE DO NOT THROW IT BACK INTO THE LAKE, IT WILL DIE! IT ATTRACTS BEARS AND IS NOT GOOD FOR THE RESOURCE.

Weekend anglers are all fishing the lakes which is surprising for this time of year especially since it's very cold.

NOTE: Bait, lures, flies and all methods may have changed so bring everything if you intend to fish. Of course, wait 10 minutes and the weather will change and return to normal fishing methods.

BAIT: Everything is just the same as last week prior to the weather but more is coming this coming week. So try Mice tails, but crawlers will do the best job and even salmon eggs. And natural garlic power bait and rainbow garlic glitter.

FLY AND BUBBLE: Bring your dry fly patterns. Always try some small searching patterns like Adams parachute #16, black caddis #16, small mosquito and Griffith's Gnats should do well when the sky has some cloud cover. The upper lakes have seen some action on a Black Ants size 12 with furry body,

FLY RODS: No hatches or one early in the week and it was a small midge and the trout were clearing the water. Try Light dun (BWO blue wing olive) dries toward a dark grey. Dirty Doc olive Twin Lake special with prince nymph (always) and Virginia lakes special (olive Matuka with red throat). Try midges they always work along with scuds. Regardless, the fishing has been great! No, I apologize - it's sensational! Oh, I almost forgot to mention brown woolly bugger pulled in a 7lb2 .

BACKCOUNTRY: Lots of hikers most of the week but NO reports. Haven't had time to go up there, but I've fished it long enough to know that some people move along with the times and fish the wrong areas with the wrong "things".

NOTE: If the trout bleeds DO NOT throw it back, it will die. If you care about the resource please be careful when releasing fish back into the water, it hurts the resource and also attracts bears!

We don't have bears now, probably because the amount of people that have fished or just visited the area and that has scared them off.

Something I have avoided mentioning is SOCIAL MEDIA has done a tremendous amount of damage to a lot of area within the Eastern Sierra. The trash and waste has increased a great deal and it's been a sort of pain for those who respect nature.
