Trout season in the Sierras will open very soon.
I wanted to list some excellent fishing locations that will be easily accessible to any and all fresh water fishermen.
First, lets start with how to get to the Eastern Sierra Nevada in California. The Scenic By-Way of the Eastern Sierra is Highway 395. This highway runs north to south from Canada to Interstate 15 in the Mojave Desert of Southern California. From Southern California, you can access highway 395 from highway 14 or Interstate 15 and going north until you reach the 395. Once on the 395, you travel north to gain access to the Eastern Sierras, but don't forget to look around so you don't miss any of ther great views and photo opportunities along the way.
The trout season opens on the last Saturday of April. April 25th will be another start to an amazing fishing experience to all trout anglers who visit the Sierras.
Crowley Lake --> A popular destination for anglers on opening weekend, Crowley offers anglers boating and shore fishing opportunities. Although it may be crowded, it is easily accessible right off the 395 about a half an hour north of Bishop, Ca. Large trout have been caught every year on this beautiful lake and you won't be dissappointed. Bait - try using Power Bait ( brightly colored ) or medium to small spinners for crank bait fishermen ( I recommmend Panther Martin's).
Convict Lake --> Located just past Crowley Lake off of highway 395 and tucked away among towering granite peaks is the medium sized gem, Convict Lake. Again, this is a popular location on opening weekend, but with great rewards. Hungry and large trout patrol these waters just looking for something new to eat after the ice melts. This is a must fish lake any time of the year while trout season is open. I have had great success on this lake with Power Bait and the use of spinners along the south shore. Convict also has camping and resort accomodations available with a small general store for all suppplies.
