“Fishmas” – Opening Day of Regular Fishing Season this Saturday!
Eastern Sierra locals and visitors are gearing up for “Fishmas,” the official start to the regular fishing season this Saturday, April 27, 2024. Lakes, streams, and reservoirs will be at very healthy levels, and most will be ice-free following a strong winter and mild spring.
Throughout the regular season, anglers are encouraged to join the effort to keep Eastern Sierra fisheries healthy and sustainable by practicing “catch and release” – keeping only the fish they need and releasing the rest to reproduce and grow.
For more information about fishing regulations, anglers should visit the CDFW website, bookmark the regulation map, visit MonoCounty.org or Mammoth Lakes Tourism to learn more about fishing in Mono County, as well as other things to do and see, lodging, and much more.
New Sites Added to Concessionaire Permit, including June Lake Beach starting April 26

June Lake Beach will have a new $10 day use fee (Parking lot opens for vehicles at 8:00am) with the remaining six sites’ fees unchanged.
After numerous safety concerns at June Lake Beach regarding illegal parking, emergency vehicle access and increased public use, the new fee will help the Forest and Vista Recreation in staffing, operations and maintenance of June Lake Beach facilities, such as cleaning toilets and removing trash.
A $50 seasonal pass and the $10 day use fee can be purchased on-site at the entrance kiosk. Campers nearby who walk in will not be charged the new day use fee. Parking lot hours will vary according to peak season days.
