Another week of daily snow and cool weather at the Lake – that makes three solid weeks and finally the Lake is on the rise with the dumping Saturday evening of white and very wet snow – five inches of the white stuff with a water content of .61 – that’s over a half inch of water – woo-hoo. With the sun playing peek-a-boo, the snow melted quickly at our altitude.

With the awesome stocking from the Department of Fish and Wildlife, fishing picked up this week. Trolling is still on the slow side, so if you’re in a boat, try fishing the channels or along the shore line. Fishing the Inlets is still the best. Jigs have been doing well, but so has NightCrawler and PowerBait. Alfredo, Danny & Irma Luna of Baldwin Park all caught limits using Red and Gold Thomas Buoyants. Jason with help from Dad, Tim Noyes, caught a nice 1-1/2 pounder on PowerBait. Chris Gaskill pulled out an awesome limit in remembrance of his step-brother, Rob, who had passed during the night.

Had a report that Blue Lake is wide open, there are still some areas where you’ll be dodging and weaving on the trail due to snow drifts, but temps are expect to be on the rise toward next weekend, so those should be gone shortly.

All campgrounds are now open in the Bishop Creek Canyon. Bishop Creek Lodge, Creekside RV Park, Cardinal Village Resort and Parchers Resort are all open.

If you’re coming to the Lake, don’t forget sunscreen and dark glasses –that sun is pretty bright against the blue sky and the glare off the water. AND DON’T FORGET A JACKET! May want to add some raingear for the week, too.

If you’re planning on hiking – PLEASE BE PREPARED – hike with a buddy – leave a note on where you’re headed – when you’re expected back – what you’re wearing – take plenty of water & food – dress in layers – you’ll start out cool, but will probably warm up – CHECK THE WEATHER! Not only is your life on the line, so are the Search and Rescue Teams.

Still another week of snow and rain, thanks Mom! It was a week of cool temps and snow, wet snow, very wet snow – just ask the tenters in Camp Sabrina whose tents collapsed during the night. Temps are expected to just get warmer and warmer with highs by the weekend in the high-60s and lows in the mid-30s. We still have a chance for some thunderbooms, so pack the poncho. You can check out the weather forecast according to Howard our local weather ‘guesser’ at www.MammothWeather.com.
