Aside from the city’s big “backyard,” where many like to visit to participate in var- ious recreational activities, Bishop is unique for its year- round opportunities. Fishing is legal year-round in many parts of the area, as Bishop is well-known for its world-class trout fishing. Anglers also flyfish and bait fish in the Eastern Sierra, with chances to win prizes and meet other anglers at the Bishop Trout Rodeo in Febru- ary or the Blake Jones Trout Derby in March. The last Saturday in April is known as “Fishmas,” which marks the opening of the sport fishing season. Anglers flock to the region in the summertime, but the fun doesn’t stop there as fish- ing in autumn and winter of- fers its own challenges in the upper and lower Owens River and Pleasant Valley Reservoir. “It’s really just about get- ting out there on the water and the camaraderie of being with people that enjoy the same activity,” said Tawni Thomson, Bishop Chamber of Commerce executive director. The hiking, backpacking, rock climbing and boulder- ing opportunities are other reasons people choose to visit Bishop all year. In the spring, guests hike to water- falls in the High Sierra. Hikers explore Bishop Creek Canyon in the summer, which offers access to the Pacific Crest Trail and John Muir Trail. As the landscape transforms in the fall and winter, hikers can enjoy colorful views and snow-capped mountains as Continued on Page 34 A view west from Bishop on Highway 168.
