Bishop Creek

Bishop Creek is a true gem of the Eastern Sierras. It has excellent fly fishing along its many forks, lakes, and small ponds that make up this very unique basin. The two primary forks of Bishop Creek, provide fly anglers with breathtaking scenery, solitude, and spectacular pools that yield some really big trout! The longest portion of Bishop Creek, the south fork, runs north out of South Lake.


If you enjoy hiking and fly fishing, the seven miles of this fork, cover a variety of terrain that is very rugged in parts. The pools in this section often hold some very eager and willing trout. Located about a quarter mile down from the South Lake Dam, the creek flows into Weir Pond. Big fish are the name of the game here, but they are not easy to catch.  Fly anglers must rely on light tippet and delicate presentaions in order to get the job done.


The other popular fork for fly fishing, is the MIddle Fork, which flows east from Lake Sabrina.  There is a big pool right below the dam that is filled with fish, but it is often crowded with anglers. This fork follows a rocky course with some nice pools and riffle water, and flows through dense stands of aspens as it winds it's way down to a pond known as Intake II.


This creek offers a little of everything, and should be a "must fish" if you are in the area.
