Once again, thanks for the very useful advice. And I definitely will keep just strapping on the anchor.
I go to the Eastern Sierras each May, and from year-to-year the waters that I fish vary depending on altitude, snowpack and ice. This being pretty much a drought year here in California, I'll probably fish Twin Lakes (near Bridgeport), Lundy Lake (if Southern California Edison) doesn't reduce the water level too much to work on the dam...and probably one of the lakes in the June Lakes Loop. I love fishing Virginia Lakes, but they'll probably still be frozen in May. A couple of the lakes near the east entrance to Yosemite are probably still frozen, but I'll get on them if I can. I will probably do some stream fishing in Robinson Creek and Rush Creek. I also like to take day hikes and fish backcountry lakes. As long as I stay below 8000 feet, they will probably be ice-free.
So I'll go with a lot of possibilities in mind and then let local conditions help me determine where to go.
