Fly fishing in the Mammoth and Bishop area continues to be very good in many locations.
The peak of the summer season is upon us and conditions continue to be mixed throughout the Eastern Sierra. Back to back dry winters are taking their toll in some locations, while a few others are fishing well due to the lower water levels. Most affected are the lakes, streams, and rivers that are fed exclusively by snow melt.
Locations that are spring fed, or get additional water from "feeder" lakes or reservoirs are doing fine. This condition will unfortunately persist and become more prevalent as the summer turns to fall. The fire season has already influenced this area significantly, and Mammoth Lakes has been under siege from a fire on the western slope for over two weeks with heavy smoke laying in town and settling in Long Valley during the afternoons and mornings. Containment is in sight with a huge improvement in air quality just recently. Put some positive vibes in for an early and wet winter friends!
