Surrounded by the High Sierras of California and alpine lakes, June Lake is the perfect destination for anyone looking to “get lost” in nature. No matter the time of year, there’s no shortage of outdoor adventures, ranging from relaxing to thrilling. Fishing is one of the most popular outdoor things to do on a June Lake vacation. To help you have the best chance of reeling in a big one when staying at our vacation rentals, the June Lake Accommodations team has compiled this guide with everything you need to know before casting your line.

When Is Prime Fishing Season?

Fishmas, at the end of April, marks the start of the prime fishing season, which usually lasts until mid-November. This annual event is a busy weekend in the Loop, so we recommend reserving your June Lake rental as soon as possible if you plan on attending. 

What Can You Reel In?

June Lake is the perfect place to stay and cast your line if you hope to reel in trout. The fisheries and lakes are stocked with several species, including:

  • Rainbow: The most common species and is regularly stocked
  • Brown: Larger, wilder trout that are more elusive
  • Cutthroat: Less common but present in waterways
  • Alpers: A large strain of rainbow trout, but stocking of this specific type has varied over time

What Are the Best Places to Go Fishing?

You have several ways to reel in the day’s catch, including shore fishing, fly fishing, and fishing from the boat. There are also several guide services that can take you out, including Sierra Drifters.

There are certainly no shortage of places to cast your line when staying at one of our June Lake cabins. Spend a relaxing day fishing or boating on June Lake, Gull Lake, Silver Lake, or Grant Lake. Each offers stunning views and excellent fishing opportunities. For those seeking adventure, explore the scenic trails along Rush Creek, Lee Vining Creek, or Virginia Lakes. All of these spots are known for fantastic fishing. 

You can also take a hike to the picturesque Parker Lake and cast a line while taking in the views from the shoreline. Tioga Pass has so many lakes and streams that one could spend the whole day exploring and fishing just outside Yosemite’s boundary. Whether you prefer a peaceful day on the water or an exhilarating trek through the mountains, there’s fishing almost everywhere you go.
