Mokelumne Overview

The Mokelumne River (North Fork) starts high in the Sierra near Ebbetts Pass at Lower Highland Lake. It flows down through Salt Springs Reservoir, Tiger Creek Afterbay, Lake Pardee and Lake Camanche. Below Lake camanche the Mokelumne is a tailwater fishery. This tailwater stretch, from Camanche Dam downstream to the town of Clements, is where I focus my guiding efforts on the Mokelumne.
