Yosemite National Park - Fishing![]()
Fishing regulations The season for stream and river fishing begins on the last Saturday in April and continues through November 15. The only exception is Frog Creek near Lake Eleanor, where fishing season does not open until June 15 to protect spawning rainbow trout. All lakes and reservoirs are open to fishing year-round. There are some special regulations that apply within the park: No live or dead minnows or other bait fish, amphibians, non-preserved fish eggs, or roe may be used or possessed. Fishing from bridges and docks is prohibited. In Yosemite Valley and El Portal (Happy Isles to Foresta Bridge): Rainbow trout are catch-and-release only. Brown trout limit is five per day or ten in possession. Only artificial lures or flies with barbless hooks may be used; bait fishing is prohibited.
