Here's your Eastern Sierra Fishing Report 7-15-24. Fishing is good all over the sierra currently. The runoff has slowed way down on most creeks and most of the local lakes are putting out great numbers and good quality fish. Crowley Lake is at the top of the list. The lake has completely turned around since last year's slow season. Fish are shallow and the are BIG! Everything from callibaetis, damselflies, and midges are working now. We are not too far away from the perch fry hatch. The East Walker River is still flowing at200 cfs, and is trending downward. Water temps are starting to rise now and the algae is established on the river bottom. Bridgeport Reservoir has been giving up some nice fish in the creek channels. The Upper Owens River has been very good for numbers of mid-sized browns and rainbows and some larger browns have been showing up too. The San Joaquin River has been good with dry dropper setups, but is only open on the weekends due to road work. Hot Creek is fishing very well, with great top water action throughout the day in both sections. The Lower Owens River flows are high at 540 cfs and the weather is blazing hot down there. All of the alpine lakes in Mammoth and June have been decent pulling streamers and hanging bugs under an indicator or a dry fly near the weed beds.
