You would need to call them to see If they are even open or you would have to stay somewhere else and drive there. Well if you get up there the fishing will be very good to say the least.

Thanks Moo,

I actually have a condo in Mammoth, so I would just drive up for the day from there. It's only like 40 minutes or so from Mammoth Lakes.

Yea thats right. I would definately recomend making a run up there for the day. If you havent fished there before I will give you a few tips if you want. Just let me know and I will PM you. If you fly fish I know the best flies to use at that lake.

Do you use a casting bubble? how do you rig it up?
I have been using a "Cast a bubble" so I dont need to use a swivel or "Carolina Keeper" and I like them a lot.

Russ, Yeah I do a "Fly and a Bobber" normally. I have two other techniques I use for "spin casting flies"depending on if I'm fishing dry or wet applications, and whether I'm fishing streams/rivers, or lakes, and also I take into consideration the depth that I would be fishing if I'm fishing wet flies.
