The Bishop Creek Canyon was evacuated over the weekend due to a brush fire in the lower reaches of the canyon. The fire did not damage any of the resorts or homes in the canyon but it did burn all the way down to the road near Big Trees Campground which is why they chose to evacuate the canyon. Thankfully the only noticeable burn areas are down by Big Trees and a little bit on the hill above Intake II so the exceptional scenic value of the canyon was spared.

They reopened the road to the public on Tuesday at 5pm and we're expecting a solid crowd for the coming weekend. With practically zero fishing pressure Sunday, Monday and Tuesday we're expecting one heck of a good weekend.
