Lone Pine opens it's trout season approximately two months earlier than anywhere else in the Eastern Sierra. It is kicked off with the Early Opener Trout Derby on the first Saturday in March. Our steams and lakes are stocked regulary by the California Department of Fish and Game with Rainbow and Brown Trout.[/#008000]
