Eastern Sierra Fishing

Head for “The Rock” for some of the best fishing in the June Lake Loop. Gull Lake consistently produces a large number of Rainbow, Brown and Brook trout. In fact, a favorite spot for boat fishermen is “The Brooky Hole” located to the left of the marina.

Silver Lake offers a number of productive areas including the parking lot at the south end of the lake. Also, float tubers find the southeast shoreline to produce well. The lake is stocked with Rainbows, Alper’s, and contains its share of native Browns. A private campground at the lake is close to a general store and tackle shop.

This man-made lake is not as pretty as the rest of the lakes on the June Lake Loop, but it is a consistent producer. The entire lake is accessable from the shore. The best spots include where Rush Creek enters the lake at the north, the narrows at the marina and a place called Sheepherder’’s Bay along the backside. This lake is a great boat lake and boaters should weigh anchor across from the marina or near where Rush Creek enters the lake. In the morning concentrate on using lures. By midday switch to bait fishing off the bottom. Fly fishing works best in the evening.

The creek receives plantings from the DFG at the Southern California Edison power plant bridge and near the Silver Lake campground. The most popular stretch of the stream is between Silver Lake and Grant Lake. The stream provides a number of nice spots, sheltered by Aspen trees, and located near submerged boulders and trees. These areas hold a lot of fish. Use spinning lures cast upstream and then retrieved at a fast clip. Floating bait produces well. Use a spit-shot sinker about a foot above the bait and then let it float downstream. Salmon Eggs, Power Bait and nightcrawlers all produce.
