Fishing at Convict Lake and The Eastern Sierra
Convict Lake fishing is arguably some of the best in the West and one of the most popular fishing “holes” in the Eastern Sierra, boasting a fantastic supply of Rainbow and Brown trout.
Fishing season at Convict Lake starts annually on the last Saturday of April, one hour before sunrise and ends on November 15, one hour after sunset.
The pristine lake is 168 acres and ringed with towering mountain peaks. Situated in a bowl at 7,580 feet, Convict Lake was developed by a moraine dam created from retreating glaciers.
Access at Convict Lake is easy and there are several options; hike the lovely trail that surrounds the lake, rent a boat from our marina, or launch your own boat.
There is an array of other great fishing locations conveniently located to Convict Lake Resort. This includes Winter fishing as well. Just across highway 395, is Hot Creek, the most popular fly-fishing in the Eastern Sierra.
