Fishing Forum

I drove up Huntington Canyon to check on the ponds up there. I checked Mammoth first and it is still covered with ice, it's going to be awhile before it opens up.

Cleveland and Electric are almost ice free.

I fished Cleveland from my tube from 11:00 until 3:00 and picked up a few 15" to 17" rainbows. All of the fish were caught within casting distance from shore so you don't really need to be on the water to catch fish. I used a medium sinking line and size 6 & 8 crystal buggers and the old reliable bead head olive leech. The water temperature was 38-39 degrees and the visibility in the water of about 3'. The reservoir is 89% full and plenty more snow to come down it's rising.

I'm afraid anyone planning to camp up there over Memorial Day weekend is going to be disappointed.[:/]
The road over to Miller Flat is still closed and I'd be real surprised if it will be open by MD.

Uhh....did you check the ice thickness on Mammoth?

Sorry, not an ice fisherman.[]

It's too hard to hit the hole with a fly.[]

You did better than I did. I fished Cleveland on Thursday morning for two hours and had one bite. Went down to Electric lake by the dam and fished for a hour with no action. The cold and wind finally drove me away.
