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!

Fishing is still going strong! Waters have dropped to a very respectable flow perfect for spin rods or fly fishing!
Many reports are coming in reporting limits and beyond (catch and release of course) by so many of you.
Bait angles are using power bait, eggs and night crawlers. Panther martins, kastmasters and rooster tails. For the Fly Fisherman, try hare's ears, princes and small buggers.
Roy V. (a guest of Meadowcliff Lodge & RV Resort) has stated "I just want to say thank you for being there. The [Meadowcliff] breakfast was great as was the service. The fishing was fantastic with limits the three days we were there. The highlight of my trip was the 4 lb. 2 oz. trout I caught on Saturday. You all take care."

And lets not forget the Gallion boys, who caught some big trout a couple of years ago. They arrived on Friday and this 11 year old caught a 21" 4 lb. rainbow the very next day. It appears that he is leading in the How Big is Big "youth" division so far this derby.

Conditions are expected to remain very good to fantastic for the next couple of months as DFG, Mono County and the Northern Mono Chamber of Commerce (NMCC). The NMCC is once again offering lapel pins and West Walker River fishing caps for a reasonable donation to their fish fund. It is through their efforts that the West Walker river continues to get stocked with trophy sized trout (Alpers and Rainbows). These items can be picked up at most of the local businesses in Coleville and Walker. Please help the NMCC continue this worthy cause by donating. Thank you!

Open - Excellent!
Just like the West Walker river, the Little Walker river is reporting great catching. Many of the Alpers and big Rainbows stocked in the West Walker have swam up into the Little Walker. Reports of catching 3+ lb. trout have been heard. Catching a large fish in these smaller waters can be exciting indeed.
Now is the time to get up this way and start your weekly trek to the West Walker. Don't delay!

Flows have hanging around 300 cfs with dips as low as 175 cfs. The East Walker is a short drive from the Coleville/Walker area so a day trip to these waters are warranted on your next trip.

Very Good - The south end of the lake has cleared in the past couple of weeks. The waters are high enough to boat up into the river channel. The reports are great fishing up the channel. Some boaters are getting as high as the Parks bridge and report 2-3 pounders!
Visit the local community website at www.topazlake.com and make your reservations.
Bridgeport Reservoir -
Open - Very Good
Bait or fly fishing has continued to do well. Trolling can be tough as the weeds are starting to thicken. Bait fishing is being down with power bait, gulp egg clusters and night crawlers. If fly fishing, then try blood midgets, sheep creek specials and soft hackles.

Kirman (Karmen) -
Open - VERY GOOD!
Reports are still coming in reporting up to 10 fish per day. Ap mergers, soft hackles and leech patterns seem to be doing the trick. Getting out into these waters is the best way to fish it. Trout in the 18" + range are the norm.
