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.
Fishing Report: Hints of fall starting to show up, which bodes ...
Change is in the air. Ever so subtly, the dog days of summer are winding down. Though that proverbial hint of fall may not be in the air quite yet, the edge is off summer temperatures across much of the state and fishing is beginning to stir from its summer doldrums.
A pattern of afternoon rains has returned to much of Colorado. Rivers generally are flowing at or somewhat above normal levels for late August. The rains can temporarily discolor the water, but conditions otherwise are prime. Summertime hatches are coming off regularly, and terrestrial insects such as grasshoppers are readily available to the trout.
Spin-fishermen also are finding improved late-summer conditions, with trout active in riffles and pocket water, as well as the deeper pools.
Mountain creeks and beaver ponds are in prime condition, and late summer is a great time to visit the higher country.
