The lake had thawed out  and the fishing was fair for shore anglers using green or salmon peach Powerbait or Inflated night crawlers. The dirt road off Diamond Valley is open, but advise extreme caution. With our recent rain and snow falls, the road can become very muddy and slippery. The paved road from highway 89 is some times closed due to weather, reason is because there are sections that will not see the sun until spring time, snow and ice can hide in those areas.  And the road is not plowed by Alpine County or Cal/Trans.
