North Fork Mokelumne River is a public river in Alpine County and Calaveras County, California, managed by California Department of Fish and Wildlife. You can fish it on a California sport fishing licence — plus a Steelhead Report Card to fish for steelhead, or a Bay-Delta Enhancement Stamp on the Delta. California’s navigable rivers carry a public right to the bed and banks below the ordinary high-water line. Central Valley and Klamath King salmon seasons are set each year and have closed entirely in recent seasons, and many Sierra streams run a last-Saturday-in-April to 15 November season with Wild Trout catch-and-release reaches.
Lakes and reservoirs across the West Coast typically hold largemouth, smallmouth and spotted bass, channel and blue catfish, black and white crappie, bluegill, and rainbow, brown and lake trout, with kokanee and other landlocked salmon present in many larger reservoirs -- species commonly documented across the region's public waters by state wildlife agencies.
It runs roughly 64 miles through the Sierra Nevada region. The nearest other mapped waters on PiscaMaps are Mosquito Lake, Lower and Mosquito Lake, Upper.

Anyone 16 or older needs a California sport fishing licence — the resident annual is about $62 (one of the most expensive in the country), the non-resident annual about $167, with 1-day (~$20) and 2-day (~$31) options; the annual licence now runs 12 months from the date of purchase. Add-ons: a Bay-Delta Enhancement Stamp (~$7) to fish the Delta and Suisun/San Pablo bays, a Steelhead Report Card (~$10) to fish for steelhead, a Second-Rod Validation (~$19) where two rods are allowed, and a free sturgeon report card. Youth under 16 fish free. Buy from CDFW at wildlife.ca.gov. A California sport fishing licence covers this water.
