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.
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

what to do in this area.
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.

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.

trout. This lake
is surround by massive
