Rock Creek, Convict Lake, Crowley Lake and Mammoth Lakes—Rock Creek Lake has been productive with lots of limits of 1- to 3-pound rainbows. PowerBait and lures all working, but fish early and late. Good time to hike to the wild lakes from the Mosquito Flats Trailhead. Almost anything works for the aggressive wild brookies, rainbows and browns. Convict Lake still reporting 4- to 5-pound fish and limits. The inlets are producing some bigger fish, but the action is spread out.Crowley Lake water temperatures are rising, moving fish into deeper water at 35 to 30 feet. The North Arm and Hilton Bay have been most productive.  The Sacramento Perch bite has been good, and the fish have moved from shallower spawning beds into deeper water. Guides are reporting mostly rainbows and cutthroats in McGee Bay, with a few larger browns feeding in random areas. Mammoth Lakes water temperatures still holding around 55 degrees. Fish are moving into deeper water, but early and late is good for shore fishing.  Work below the falls at Twin Lake for some bigger rainbows and browns.

June Lake Loop, Lee Vining, Lundy Lake—All four loop lakes are well stocked and producing plenty of limits and some bigger fish. Mornings and evening are better times to fish and as daytime temperatures climb, look for better action in deeper water. The cutthroats have started to bite at June Lake, but they are deep.

Grant Lake good for some bigger brown late in the day with trolled Rapala.

Silver and Gull lakes are well stocked with trophy rainbows, but they have moved into deeper water.

Lundy Lake is nearly full, and some bigger fish are coming to anglers working deeper water from boats, or tubes.
