Fishing Mammoth Lakes
The Mammoth Lakes is stocked with rainbow trout and Alpers trout. They are also home to brown trout.
Lake George A third of a mile in diameter, Lake George is easily fished from shore. Good
spots include around the marina, down by the inlets from TJ Lake and Crystal Lake, and along the western shore.
Lake Mary The largest of the lakes, Lake Mary can be fished successfully from shore, but
bushes make some parts difficult to access. Float tubes are popular here. Especially good spots are along the
east shore near the inlet from Lake George and all along the northern end.
