The general trout season closes on November 15th. The waters of the Upper Owens River upstream from the Benton Crossing Bridge, Hot Creek, the East Walker River below the dam at Bridgeport Reservoir, Pleasant Valley Reservoir, & the Lower Owens River and Gorge section will remain open year around. Some areas having special angling restrictions.

Crowley Lake and Bridgeport Reservoirs went out quietly this year due to low water levels in both areas (they both close on 11-15). Crowley is filling and is now up 2 vertical feet from its lowest point. Silver Lake kicked out a monster 18 lb. brown for a troller in early November. I would have lost big money on this one! Access remains excellent to all the year around fisheries, hope you can make it up soon.
