For opening weekend boat inspections were being performed in the Von's parking lot at the northeast end of Bishop. I don't know if inspections will continue there but please don't put your boat or kayak in any clean waters if you've used them in waters contaminated with the Zebra or Quagga mussels/snails. Please act responsibly.

stevoo, great pictures.

cool will have to figure it out. need a large trout at least a 5 lb plus we will see no post means no large fish. Already been a good year yellows and halibut now going to catch some bait.

That was awesome! fish #4 looks like a golden trout.

one of my best fishing trips was the june lake loop area, i bought a season pass to mammoth mtn. and you could pick it up in may even though it was for the following year. so i decided to head up to the sierras and got two days of snowboarding and two days of epic wide open trout fishing all in one trip. i cooked up some fresh trout right on the side of the road where i parked. it was great! congrats on the other species.

I'm touched. Figuratively, not literally. I thought I heard my ears ringing on Sunday, now it is sweet relief to know that you were talking bout my testes. Bring on Catapalooza!!!

Great report. Having grown up doing a lot of fishing in the Sierra's I can't wait to get back up there this year and show my children, who have now caught the fishing bug, what a magical place it is.
