Yes, fishing is still thing in Mammoth Lakes. The lakes and streams are over stocked with rainbow and brown trout which are considered the native varieties. For years Mammoth has been the heaven for fisherman because there are so many places to go. Ironically, some think of our town as a fishing resort, and others a ski resort, and yet during some seasons, both fisherman and skiers can co-habitat. This time of the year, fishing derbies are very popular. Convict Lake features the infamous "Ambush at the Lake" which is a funny name for a fishing event, but taken from the real convicts that were truly caught at the lake many, many years ago. Yes, the legend is true, and so are the fish. We can get you special rates on your cabins there if you like to stay right close to the water. Just call us and ask. There are a lot of fishing event happening all summer long. If you're chasing after a derby to go for a win, check out the Mono County calendar as it has every fishing event every created! It is very peaceful now in Mammoth, so a mini fishing vacation might be called for. The kids have gone back to school and the months are quiet before the holidays. October brings about the fall colors on the trees, and the hikes into the woods... where the streams are absolutely gorgeous. Fishing season always closes on the same day, November 15 in Mono County. There is fishing in Inyo County a bit later, but truly the weather is a bit cold, unless you like... ice fishing, and most of the good size trout have been caught.
