Opening Day of Regular Fishing Season set for April 27
Eastern Sierra locals and visitors alike are gearing up for “Fishmas,” the official start to the regular fishing season on Saturday, April 27, 2024. Lakes, streams, and reservoirs will be at very healthy levels, and most will be ice-free following a strong winter and mild spring. Unlike most of California, the majority of the lakes in Mono County are natural, fed by spring snowmelt and surrounded by the jagged landscape of the Sierra Nevada mountain range.
Throughout the regular season, anglers are encouraged to join the effort to keep Eastern Sierra fisheries healthy and sustainable by practicing “catch and release” – keeping only the fish they need and releasing the rest to reproduce and grow.
To encourage beginners, the state holds two “free fishing days” per year, typically the first Saturday of July and the first Saturday of September (all other regulations still apply). A free Mono County Fishing Map can also help navigate the fishable waters in the area.
For more information about fishing regulations, anglers should visit the CDFW website, bookmark the regulation map, or visit MonoCounty.org to learn more about fishing in Mono County, as well as other things to do and see, lodging, and much more.
Mono County Library and High Sierra Energy Foundation Receive Grant for Sustainability Series and Library-of-Things Project
The High Sierra Energy Foundation and Mono County Library are partnering once again to deliver some incredible free community events this spring, funded by a grant from the California State Library’s Sustainable California Libraries initiative.
The Mono County Sustainability Series events include hands-on workshops, facility tours, and a Sustainability Fair. In addition to the events, we are launching a Library-of-Things at both the Mammoth and Bridgeport library branches with items becoming available later this spring.
The Library-of-Things project expands the traditional library concept beyond books to include a wide range of useful items available for borrowing including musical instruments, astronomy equipment, household tools, board games and baking pans. This collection helps promote resource-sharing and reduces consumption while providing our community with equitable access to valuable resources. Items will be available at both the Mammoth and Bridgeport branches beginning later this spring.
The Sustainability Series includes three hands-on workshops and three facility tours, as well as the Mono County Sustainability Fair which will be held on May 11 gathering local organizations focused on a diverse range of sustainability initiatives across the Eastern Sierra.
All events are free and open to all ages, however some events have limited capacity and require advanced registration. For full event details and registration pages, please visit the website.
