Important Updates for "Fishmas" - New Mandatory Watercraft Inspections: To protect our pristine lakes and streams from the highly invasive golden mussel, Mono and Inyo Counties have implemented a mandatory watercraft inspection program for the 2026 season. Under the new regulations, all boats must be inspected and display a required sticker before hitting the water. Please note that even with a local sticker, your boat will require a new inspection if it enters any waterbody outside of Mono or Inyo County. To help our community get ready for Opening Day, we are actively rolling out a streamlined inspection process for local resident boaters and a self-attestation program for marinas. For full details on the new regulations, how to get your sticker, and the latest updates on the streamlined process for residents, please visit EasternSierraWID.com.
