Looking for advice for Mammoth in October.

[MaxZmus]

Hi everyone, I’ll be going up to Mammoth for the very first time the first week of October and I’m open to any and all advice at getting the best shot at landing some fish. I do t plan on keeping any so I’ll be using barbless hooks on all my spoons and minijigs. I plan on bringing my float tube and will be using ultralight spinning gear. I’ll be staying at the Limelight hotel which is only 3.5-5miles from Twin Lakes, Lake Mary, and a few others I can’t remember right now. From what I’ve read so far Lake Mary seems to be the best. Are the fish deeper or close to shore this time of year? Any consistent depths that you guys like to target ? I’m not opposed to using bait either. Thanks in advance!

Check to see what the trout stocking schedule is/was. Otherwise most of those lakes the trout will be on the surface at daybreak and I do pretty good at pretty much every lake North of Crowley with gold & red thomas buoyants.

Twin lakes is pretty shallow in most parts of it but have done pretty well from shore if you bring waders and walk in where the waterfall (comes from Mamie, twin falls) is and fish with a crappie jig, power worm, or night crawler on a bobber with a long leader (looks like it's called Kutzadika lake now?)

Otherwise the majority of the other lakes around there you can tube and do pretty well as long as you're on the water at the butt crack of dawn. I have tubed all those lakes but don't have any input on Horseshoe, never fished it since at the time they hadn't stocked in a long a while for some reason or another
