"Stillwaters"

Of the watershed options available to me in the Eastern Sierras, I have always chosen a river over a lake.  I'm not really a stillwater guy. But, with the last few drought years here in California I have decided to give Crowley Lake a shot.

I've had a great run exploring this excellent fishery. I haven't decided if I have fully converted to the "stillwater" game. But it is definitely appealing when the chromid hatch is in full force and the bigs are crashing schools of perch fry in the shallows.
