Lake Information
Fish Species: | Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout, Lahontan Cutthroat |
June Lake is a high-altitude trout fishery situated within the June Lake Loop in Mono County. At 7,621 feet, its 160-acre basin offers exceptional cold-water habitat for rainbow and brown trout, supported by regular CDFW stockings and wild populations. Its deep, clear waters sustain large holdovers and trophy browns, particularly in the colder months.
Anglers benefit from excellent shore access and a full-service marina. Early season action centers on the creek mouths, where rainbows cruise the shallows. Bait anglers deploy PowerBait and worms, while fly anglers use streamers and nymphs near drop-offs. Dry fly hatches emerge mid-summer with prolific midge and caddis activity.
During summer, trout descend into deeper layers. Trolling with leadcore lines and lures like Rapalas and Needlefish is the most effective technique. Fall brings aggressive brown trout near the shoreline, where casting jerkbaits and spinners yields impressive results.
Proximity to June Lake village provides unique convenience. With high catch potential, clear water, and full angler amenities, June Lake is the quintessential Sierra destination.
