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!

The river is now in Spring runoff but with the lack of high Sierra snow and warm days, waters are running high. It does look like the river recently peaked at ~950 cfs and looked as if it was clearing Thursday afternoon. Fishing may start to pick up soon.
