Hiking
Trails are open early this year!
​
It was a relatively light winter, with a warm March and April, and that means great hiking sooner than usual. Keep in mind streams are high and crossings can be dangerous... or, trails can become streams. Wet feet can be expected!
​
Bishop Pass Trail:
Not too many snowfields all the way to Bishop Lake. Getting over the pass is still a bit tricky; bring snow equipment if you plan to go high.
​
Green Lake Trail:
Completely clear from Parchers to Green Lake. Still snowy at the lake, but clear again once you're around and heading up to the ridge.
​
Tyee Lake Trail:
Almost completely clear up to the third lake. At that point the exposure changes and the trail to the fourth lake disappears.
​
Conditions are changing daily as snow melts fast. Time to pack a sandwich and extra socks and get out there!​​
Fishing
The fishing at South Lake is heating up! The lake is rising fast, and the inlets are flowing strong. Stocking expected this Tuesday.
​
The back of the lake remains a favorite spot, for good reason. Anglers are pulling fish out using PowerBait, Kastmasters, Sierra Slammers, mice tails, and good old worms.​
​
Trolling is successful with Rapalas, Thomas Bouyants, and spinners. Gold and red are a good place to start.
​​
If you're hitting the streams, there are lots of nice fish to go after! PowerBait and worms are the go-to.
​
The bottom line? Get a line in the water however you can!
