Catch a tagged trout and have the chance to be a millionaire
Labor Day Weekend, visitors to Mammoth Lakes, Calif. will be able to enjoy live bluegrass, country and classical music, a kids' fishing pond, kids' fishing games, T-shirt painting, trout cooking demonstrations, the Festival of Fine Art, and the second annual Million Dollar Trout Competition, which will be held on Sept. 2-3-4.
Mammoth Lakes is located just off of U.S. 395, about 120 miles south of Carson City and about 40 miles north of Bishop.
That Million Dollar Trout Competition is produced by the Town of Mammoth Lakes in co-operation with Mono County Tourism, the Mammoth Art Guild, and the Calif. Dept. of Fish and Game.
If you like to fish, all you have to do is pay $25 to enter that competition and try to catch a tagged trout at a number of different locations in that general area of California.
'Big Lake' fishing remains steady
Little has changed on the 'Big Lake' this week, as limit catches of king salmon, along with an occasional lake trout and steelhead, remain common. Although a few nice catches were reported between Holland and Grand Haven, the better fishing has been near Muskegon, White Lake, Pentwater, Ludington and Manistee. Most of the fish are being taken 40-70 feet down, but with an east wind, that could quickly change. Everyone seems to have a favorite spoon or fly, but some of the more productive patterns have been the Moonshine Lures in Flounder-Pounder or Spitfire, mixed veggies, Natural Born Killer (NBK) and the blue or green dolphin. Flasher-fly combos also have been effective with Pickled Sunshine, Snow Ghost and Little Bride being popular color patterns. Downriggers have been used effectively in deep water, but lead-core, wire line and Dipsy/Slide Divers can be used when the boat traffic isn't heavy.
