Weather: Daytime highs will be in the 40's & 50's mainly with a possibility of breaking into the low 60's mid week. Night time lows will be in the 20's & 30's. Sunday-Tuesday are predicted to be the coldest days with a chance of rain or snow but the rest of the week looks mainly sunny. Feel free to call us for a real-time weather report. Here is a local site that is usually quite accurate www.mammothweather.com.

Tactics/Bait: This week has been a bit lighter in the photo gallery due to not as many people fishing however the fishing has been excellent. A few folks with fish finders have reported seeing a lot of fish. We have seen some full stringers and the largest fish of the week, a 3LB 9oz caught by Mike Ulmer pictured above. Fish are being caught all around the lake with night crawlers, green/yellow PowerBait the most productive baits.

Here is a list of other baits that are good to try: Rapala, Trout Teasers, Midges, Panther Martin, Thomas Bouyants, Green Wooly Booger, White Mini Jig and Garlic PowerBait. Trolling with down riggers 3 to 6 colors or 20 to 50 feet is a depth range to try.

Stocking: DFG has been here this week. Next week we will provide Mono County and Convict Lake supplemental stocking plans.

Sunrise - Sunset: Sunrise this week 5:53am - 5:47am and Sunset 7:48pm - 7:53pm.

Derby News: Round-up at the Lake going on now until June 5th.
