I spoke to some other people on your trip and they reported similar results: great looking water and weather but few if any fish.
I was there in September and early October and landed 3 the first trip and maybe 6-8 the second trip, all after fishing hard the whole day with a little rotator cuff damage. Most were in the 7"-9" range. It used to be that you'd land a 12-14"er there and think how come I can't get any of the big ones. Now I'm thrilled if I break 10"'.
I still enjoy being there since it's so beautiful but I plan to explore the Lower Kern and the lake in the future as it also has bass in addition to some of those trout.
