The HighSierraFishing.com website was conceived in 1997 as a source of fishing information on the Eastern Sierra's, focusing mainly on the northern Mono County area.
It has grown from first reporting the conditions on the West Walker River to now reporting on lakes, rivers and streams from Bridgeport north.
See our Area Lakes page which lists over 65 lakes in the area.
Our reports are received from a multitude of sources, many including anglers as yourself. Please feel free to submit your fishing reports (and photos) to info@highsierrafishing.com. Please browse our website and enjoy all that we offer.
If anyone has suggestions on links that would be a great addition to this site, please pass them on. If you have photos or stories please pass them on. Email me at info@highsierrafishing.com.
The fishing just doesn't get better than this! Please practice good catch and release techniques. This will help preserve our fishing! Use of barb-less hooks even when bait fishing really does cut down on the mortality rate. Thanks!

West Walker River
- Now Open!
Click
here for the current flow rate
Waters currently are running clear one day and then murky the next. There have been some afternoon thunderstorms. Fishing takes some skills for bait anglers but the waters are still fishable at this time.
Opening weekend brought in a number of large Alpers, 3# - 5# and a German Brown (17"). There were many pan-fryers caught and enjoyed for dinner.
The "How Big Is Big" fishing derby starts July 1st and ends July 31st. Make certain to contact you favorite lodging to get the best dates.
Last years the "How Big Is Big" fishing derby winner is Dave Winfrey from Modesto California with a 6.2# 23 1/2" trout caught on a spinner on July 12th. There were over 70 entries this year and the top 49 will win a prize! Dave Winfrey and the winning trout can be seen below.
Visit the local Coleville/Walker website (http://www.colevilleca.com) and book your reservations at your favorite lodging today and get fishing!
Little Walker River - Open
With spring run-off starting, this is one of the best bets in the area. While the West Walker may be running high and murky, this small river (albeit also is running fast) usually stays clear and clears up sooner than the West Walker. Make certain that you check out this river. It is one of my favorite spots!

Topaz Lake - Good
Fishing has been good with the cooler weather and rising waters. The south and east sides are doing the best. Early morning or late afternoon (if the wind cooperates) is the best bet.
Visit the local community website at www.topazlake.com and make your reservations.
Bridgeport Reservoir - click here for current flow rates
Open - and doing well. Opening weekend has brought in some nice 14-16" rainbows. Meadowcliff Lodge reports that a guest caught 2 - 18"+ German Browns.
