Crowley Lake is a mecca for fishing
here in the Eastern Sierra.
This body of water and it's midge
population, careful planning and
stocking allow for trophy trout fishing.
Some of the best in the west.
This video will show and tell you more
about the fish and the midge of Crowley
Lake.
This DWP Reservoir offers boating and
shore fishing. If you have a SUV you can
get to many, many miles of shore line
from endless roads around the lake.
The map on our
Crowley Web Page shows some of the
routes.
Want more info? Call the team that
lives right on the lake at The
Crowley Lake Fish Camp & Marina.
They have a very nice set up and it is a
great place to launce your own boat or
rent one.
One thing you need to
note is: Crowley will get blown out
after lunch many a Summer days. So go
for sunrise fishing, when the wind is
down. From Opening Day 2008 through July
31 there is a Five Fish Limit with no
size limitations. Aug.1 - Oct.31, it's
two per day, 18" in length and only
artificial lures with barbless hooks can
be used.
The Mammoth Lakes Basin is
located up the Lake Mary Road and
contains a handful of lakes you can
drive to. This area is a prime use
area for Family Fun. Everything from
Shore Fishing to Boating, Camping,
Biking, Walking and Day hiking to over a
dozen lakes.
Drive to lakes are: Lake George,
Lake Mary, Twin Lakes, and Lake Mamie.
Each of these bodies of waters if
stocked often. We hooked up with Tim
Alpers at Twin Lakes when he brought in
a load of the fish he stocks in these
lakes.
Check out that video and imagine
yourself hooking into one of those
beasts. Now every time you
cast you have a chance to catch not just
a DFG stocker, but a monster Alpers. The
entire Lakes Basins Stuffed with these
fish.
The Basin is also home to two marinas
and several national forest service
campgrounds, and a general store. You
can also get a cozy cabin at
Tamarack Lodge or
Crystal Crag Lodge. Each Lake
except George has boat rentals. We
are working on The Mammoth Lakes Basin
Travel & Fishing Videos so you can see
for yourself what to do in this area.
This PDF File has all the phone
numbers you need for the lakes basin!
Mammoth Creek is sure to provide
a great fishing excursion. Make
sure you check that the creek has been
stocked. This is a high traffic
area and lots of city kids and locals
love to fish here. So if you want
a playful setting get here early or head
to The Lakes Basin.
Read here for a trip report from
Mammoth Creek last summer. They
had Stocked
Big Alpers just the day before!
Parking is great for this creek that is
right in the heart of Mammoth Lakes.
Best bet is to park at Mammoth Creek
Park at the end of Old Mammoth Road.
There are also lots of benches and rest
rooms in this area.
The Upper Owens River
is a epic place to fish and camp.
Just 3 miles north of Crowley Lake Drive
you will see the Green Church.
Turn right and head out about 3 miles
and you will see the river and
browns towns camp ground.
Be careful regulations for fishing very
all over the river. The good news
is if you slow down and ready the signs
by the creek you will not get a ticket.
Summer 2007 this area saw the mother
load of trout stocking. Get here
early this season as all those holdovers
are going to be monsters.
Convict Lake & Creek is home to
some monster trout. This lake is
surround by massive peaks that will make
you break out the camera. The lake is a
very deep body of water that can produce
some monsters. The creek will
provide you with hours of fun fishing
for stockers. This area is also up for
our team to cover later this season.

and marina web site. Want a

this area try here.
The June Lake Loop area is a
great place for many day trips or a
