Mammoth Pools is a gorgeous lake in the high country
which is known for its exceptional trout fishing. Its less than two hours
from Oakhurst, or slightly more from Fresno.
We can do a simple early morning excursion, but I
highly recommend staying at least one night. Better yet, stay for two
nights and enjoy three days of fishing! You'll need to make your own camping
arrangements. Campgrounds are available for vehicles,
and there are also first come first serve campgrounds available on the lakeshore
which are only available by boat.
Mammoth Pools is also known for its crawdads, and on
the 3 day 2 night fishing trips we'll set out traps and if we're lucky we'll
have a crawdad feast the kids will remember forever: crawdads, potatoes, and
corn on the cob all thrown out together on top of a plastic table cloth for
messy finger food goodness!

On the overnight trips you can 'mix and match' who these are for the morning and
afternoon, so that you could actually have more than 5 people fish throughout
your stay for the price of 5.

Overnight, which includes 3 fishing trips (early morning and
late afternoon the first day, and early morning again on the second): $600
minimum.
3 day, 2 night, which includes 5 fishing trips (3 early morning
and 2 in the afternoon): $1,000.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND:
3 days 2 nights of
camping and fishing, including a "crawdad feast" if
we're
lucky!
You'll need to arrange for and set up your own camp site, which are available for vehicles, and there are also
campsites around
the lakeshore which are only accessible by boat.
Day 1:
- Arrival and morning fishing
- Transport camping gear to boat only accessible
campsite, if desired
- Afternoon fishing
- Place crawdad traps
Day 2
- Morning fishing
- Afternoon fishing
- Crawdad feast
Day 3
- Morning fishing
- Transport gear back to land
Note: Different
combinations of people can fish on the overnight trips. For example, if
your group includes 4 adults and 5 children, you might
wish to purchase a trip for 2 adults and 3 children,
as an example. Then
"Adult A" and "Adult B" fish the morning, and "Adult
C" and "Adult D" fish the afternoon, and
with 6 adults in your group you could even have two entirely
different adults fish the next morning. The same
is true for the children, and this is perfectly
acceptable.
