Episode 111: Pinecrest Lake Hike and Fish

First timer at the lake targeting trout but ended up getting into a few smallmouth bass. The hike to the inlet wasn’t too intense but it took about an hour for me to get there.

You found Bass hole. I have church friends that own a place up there. Apparently someone covertly planted bass in the lake, and a lot of the locals aren't happy about it. Sorry you couldn't get any trout. I've always had luck at the inlet although I've always used powerbait. Next time.

Next time try early AM by the inlet. I smacked them with the SDO nature collection orange. Also soaking mice tails work great there with a long leader, you’ll catch biggins.

Thanks for the advice. I fished a different spot earlier that day but will make Pinecrest the first stop next time.

Love pinecrest. Just came back and we did really well on those rainbows. Next time you will get them 👍🏼

Thanks. Always excited to learn new waters.

Too early in the season to hike back there. Soak Powerbait by the ramp where Dept of Fish & Wildlife dump the fish. It’s guaranteed rainbow and then some…. 👍🙏🎣⚒

Thanks for the info. Will try the ramp the next time.

What's your rig setup? I'm new to fishing and I just bought an ultra light rod not sure if it would work at pinecrest tho
