Fishing report 

Conditions, catches, and recent trout plants

Welcome to Ebbetts Pass Sporting Goods report on fishing and what's working at all your favorite spots along the Highway 4 corridor

 

Tuesday April 24, 20      

       

      Welcome to another year of fishing the Highway 4 corridor. Season opener is Saturday April 27th. We are looking forward to having a awesome fishing year. There is still a lot of snow in the high country so please be careful on the river as there could be more water being released due to the reservoirs making room for the snow melt. Lake Alpine and Spicer will not be fishable for the opener due to snow.

        White Pines Lake and The North Fork of The Stanislaus River are due to be planted this week prior to the opener.

         Fishing Licenses are now good for 365 days.
