Each year this has been a very fun trip with allot of early season trout both in the Brown and Rainbow variety. There is plenty of stream action in this portion of the Eastern Sierras, Hot Creek, Upper Owens, McGee Creek, not to mention the plentiful trout on Convict Lake and Lake Crowley. Already the fish reports coming in from the Eastern Sierras are outstanding with plenty of water flow as the snow melt has been steady but regulated with temperatures that remain cool. For more up to date information please visit www.sierradrifters.com/fish.html.

This year we will be going 2 weeks after the annual trout season opening on Apr. 31st.
We will be staying at Convict Lake where the scenery is outstanding. Convict lake offers accommodations ranging from camping in 88 USFS sites to full cabins ranging in price from $139.00 to $450.00 a night with multiple rooms and length of stay options. If you wish to camp but do not wish to suffer the cold you may also arrange to have a trailer placed for you at one of the 88 camp sites.
