Old Timer Had The Secrets | Trout Fishing | Lower Twin Lakes | Bridgeport California

One of my favorite places, Bridgeport area. I am 71 yr old lady, and I have been fishing Robinson creek and the lakes since I was 6yrs old. I will be up there after Labor Day. I will be staying at the Lower Twin Lakes resort. I like fishing a worm with a water bubble too.

Is there some kind of inlet or fresh water coming in from somewhere into the lake? I’ve never fished it and have always wanted to

How do you get the rooster tail far out there since it’s so light?

Just got home from bridgeport twin lakes..took my float tube got some big ones lower twin...

Man he had some good stories to tell and we caught a few as well listening in. Good times bud!

I thought I was an impatient weirdo for not using Bait-n-wait set ups, but this guy stated it just about the way I feel. I keep swearing I will make use of my 2 rod permit by setting up one B'n'W and throwing a spoon or soft bait with the other rod, but I usually end up just casting and retrieving.

The old timer mentioned Basque food. I just found out this year on a Reno/Tahoe/Bridgeport/Silver Lake/Convict trip about the Basque history up in Nevada. I didn't realize it went as far south as Gardnerville. There's so much fascinating stuff up and down 395.

What ya plan on doing now that the Colorado is running dry.

Nice catches. Never too old to learn something new.

I agree with the old timer, I love chucking metal!

HEY BRO...... try using your clear sink able bobber. Add bb`s, to sink slowly. ( PERFECT )

Well I'm 66 and I love Twin Lakes we went there 23 years in a row it's my favorite place

Years ago the sporting goods store in Bridgport had a 30 pounder in a chest freezer.
Said it was caught in twin lakes?

The last time i was there was around 1999 we would go every year i would use an olive metuka with a clear bubble 6 foot leader i learned that from this old timer but i think that setup got played out i remember my reel broke in 1995 i was so excited about what i learned i bought one of the high priced reels at the bait shop had that thing many years

What bait do you use?

I've been using Mepps 3 BG spinning lures for decades...

Beautiful lake

That dude seriously needs a pair of handcuffs.

Enjoyed your video, just a nice day at Bridgeport, thanks

A really good spot it’s not in the lake if u go straight then you’ll see this creek it is packed with fish and not a lot of ppl go I caught 6 fish in under 10 mins

Try pro cure

This older guy knows what’s up - as a Basque guy JT Bar has some good food - there’s also a new spot in town that teeters more along the Basque fusion line

Excellent
