Big Pine Creek and Baker Creek provide angler’s with good stream fishing. Rainbow’s are regularly stocked in both creeks, plus hand-fed trout from the Big Pine Trout Farm are stocked unannounced in Big Pine Creek each summer. Each of these fishing areas can be reached by heading west from Big Pine. Campgrounds are available.
The areas around the upper campgrounds are planted on a weekly basis during the summer months. Baker Creek is planted in the campground area, while Big Pine Creek is planted from Sage Flat Campgrounds to Glacier Lodge.
The best areas are from Glacier Lodge to the bridge just outside Big Pine. Best baits are salmon eggs and small spinners with squirrel tail. Flies,lures, nightcrawlers and floating baits also work well. Supplies, bait and tackle, are available in Big Pine or Glacier Lodge. This is a very scenic area and well worth the drive.

Rock Creek Lake holds a number of large Browns, as well as its share of Rainbows. The boat dock offers very good fishing. The Little Lakes Valley offers a number smaller lakes, including Mack Lake. To reach this area you must start at the Mosquito Flat trailhead and walk about fifteen minutes. Mack holds native Browns and a large population of Brook Trout. Flies work best here. Rock Creek provides Rainbow, Brown and Brook action as the stream flows down to the Owens Valley. Spinning Lures and flies produce well, especially in the small pools formed along the creek. Ants work real well as do  Crickets and Adams flies. Visit our sister site www.rockcreeklake.com.

This lake often is overlooked by fishermen, but that doesn’t mean this isn’t a great spot. In fact, fishermen often pull eight pound Rainbows and Browns out of Lundy Lake. Located seven miles north of Lee Vining, Lundy provides a good number of Rainbow, Brook and Brown Trout. The lake is regularly stocked by the DFG. The best spots for fishing Lundy, include near the dam and across from the boat dock. Lures work best, although Power Bait and Nightcrawlers also produce.
