Eastern Sierra
This isn't your average pretty scenery – it's a serious fly fishing destination with a backdrop that'll blow your mind. Whether you're a total newbie or a seasoned angler, there's water here to challenge and reward you. Think legendary hatches on Hot Creek's clear flows, chasing browns and rainbows on the winding Upper Owens, or year-round action on the Lower Owens tailwater. And don't overlook Crowley Lake, a stillwater gem known for its impressive midge hatches and streamer opportunities and the chance to hook into some serious trout.
But the adventure doesn't stop there. There's the wild beauty of the East Walker River, home to healthy rainbow and brown trout populations. Picture perfect stream fishing in the high country of Rock Creek. Or the reward of finding eager trout in the secluded riffles and pools of the Middle Fork of the San Joaquin. Plus, the Mammoth Lakes Basin and June Lake Loop offer stunning alpine scenery and a variety of lake and stream fishing opportunities, perfect for a full day of exploration.
Bottom line: the Eastern Sierra offers diverse fly fishing that delivers. Spring creeks, big water for bigger fish, or the peace of a mountain stream – it's all here. Ready to get on the water? Let's make it happen.
