However it provides the best opportunity for a large brown trout. Route 395 then goes to Lee Vining and twenty five miles later to Bridgeport where there are numerous angling possibilities. In fact the largest brown trout ever landed in California was landed in Bridgeport s Upper Twin Lake. The monster weighed in at over 26 pounds. Large browns are caught every year in Twin Lakes and Bridgeport Reservoir.
Walker River produces some nice fish also.
Driving up 395 and fishing its many spots makes for some great fun from late April to late October. In addition to the fun and fishing, there is awe inspiring scenery. If you have not made this trek, make plans now. You won t regret it.
