DFG said the April 28 opening weekend will turn anglers loose on some of the finest trout waters found in the west - including officially designated wild trout waters such as lower Hat Creek, Fall River, the upper Klamath River above Copco Lake, and sections of the McCloud River below McCloud Reservoir. The Susan River, Goodrich Creek, Ash Creek, upper Hat Creek and Clear Creek are expected to have ideal flows early along with good plants of trout, but flows and fishing could fade fast as the spring turns to summer. In the eastern Sierra . . . The East Carson River provides angling for rainbow, brown and the occasional cutthroat or mountain whitefish. A scenic trip and secluded fishing, especially for the fly anglers, can be found down Highway 395 at the Green Creek Wildlife Area, just south of Bridgeport in Mono County.
Anglers can look forward to great stream fishing and uncrowded conditions.
A pleasure to drive during spring, summer and fall, visitors should know that Green Creek Road is impassible during winter months.
