Theres been a lot of talk on the fishing forums about the lower Kings river. Here is a link to a article. They have started a new stocking program and are putting in some monsters.

Not yet. The holidays were to dang busy this year. I'm thinking of taking it down to Laguna Niguel Lake to get my feet wet, so to speak. Only two more weekends of hunting season and both of 'em will be spent in the duck blind.Originally posted by aconcrete@Jan 19 2006, 05:39 PM

Just a couple of weeks ago my friend and i were fishing from shore at Lake Isabella and my friend landed a 3 1/2 lber on power bait,a nice full finned,colorful fish it was.On the other hand I was skunked while the other people around us had close to limits on good sized trout. I would try Isabella if you want size to your fish. Good luck
Loye
We may have to give that a try.
I havent been to Isabella in many years so will have to do a little research to find the hot spots.
Thanks for the reply Loye!

aconcrete, just now noticed this. I told you about a lake last season that fishes well this time of year. Shoot me an email if you need some info. Here's my first fish of the season, 3.5 pounder. Had it for dinner last night...tasted like salmon!

Heres my fish from the upper Kern , it was cold but a lot of fun!
take 178 up the caynon to where it turned into a 4 lane rd and when you get to borel rd make a right and follow the road to the left , hobo has a 5$ day fee but iff you dont park in the camp ground you dont have to pay .... use nightcrawlers soaked with that new garlic GRAVY scent.. good luck. email me during the week if you want to hit it up code3punk@yahoo.com ...........C3P

Went out for a couple of hours and caught a total of 10 trout on the Kern. Kept 5 and released 5. Also caught one of the Kern's speciality prize fish, the sucker fish. The biggest one I caught was 5 1/2 pounds and the smallest was 1.75 pounds.
What a great afternoon.

Hey Code3...Actually I hiked in upstream of Borrel about a mile... They key is to get off the beaten path, just like hunting. Go where no one else goes. I used crickets. It's harder to fish now that the water is running faster. Just gotta get down the right technique for the faste moving water. Good Luck.

Here's my limit from last weekend. I might go out tomorrow early afternoon. We'll see what happens. The largest one on the left weighed 3.75 lbs.

Dont worry there arent that many hot spots on the Lower Kern that people havent been to.

Well I went out Friday for a couple of hours in the rain. I caught 2 decent sized rainbows about 14 inches and had a monster on my line. I faught him for about 10 minutes then I saw his tail and back as he came out from down deep in this pool, I reached for my net and was going to net him, then whala...the hook came flinging out like a scud missile and just missed my head. Oh well...another fish story in the books. From the feel of the fish I have been catching, he probably was well over 5 lbs.
