Fishing
Whatever your fishing choice, the Sierra provides numerous opportunities for stream and lake fishing. Information on fishing regulations.
Lake and Pond Fishing
All lakes are open year around, though access may be limited due to seasonal closure of roads due to snow.
All lakes and reservoirs on the Forest are open year around for fishing except were seasonal closures apply, such as Mammoth Pool.
Anglers, 16 years and older, who plan to fish in creeks, streams, rivers and lakes on the Forest will need to obtain a California fishing license. The fee for an annual license is $32.80 and can be obtained at local stores. National Forest offices do not sell fishing licenses. When you obtain your permit make sure to pick up a copy of the Freshwater Sport Fishing Regulation Book, as it provides information on fishing restrictions, the type of hooks and bait you can use, the amount of trout you can catch and possess, and how you must display your license.
