It was another week of ‘Fun & Games’ courtesy of Mother Nature. She threw a little bit of everything at us again – rain, thunder, sleet, heat, snow and just some down-right awesome weather. Like they say ‘Just wait five minutes and the weather’s bound to change’. With the bit of heat we got and that wet, wet rain of Memorial Weekend, the run-off has begun. We’re picking up about 4 to 5 inches of water a day and quite a few rocks have disappeared in the channels.

And this week, the catching part of fishing picked-up some. You know the drill – fishing the Inlets - it’s all working at ALL the Inlets – Jigs (Sierra Slammers), Salmon Eggs, NightCrawlers, and PowerBait. Trolling is still on the slow slide, but we’re recommending the tried and true if you’re really into trolling – Thomas Buoyants or just a NightCrawler (don’t forget the swivel). Drifting the rock piles with PowerBait or NightCrawler. Fishing the shoreline – try Salmon Eggs, NightCrawlers or PowerBait. DFW stocked the Lake last Wednesday with a proper load of fish along with some trophy fish. Speaking of trophy fish, there’s a stocking to take place sometime in June of some larger fish in the Canyon.

Had some nice limits come out of the Lake this week. The Laddusaw’s, that would be Scott, Jeff, Mike and Dave along with Brian Beavers all were eating good with their limits caught on Salmon Eggs and NightCrawlers. And when you’ve got the fishing bug, nothing’s gonna stop the Arozna family – Preston, Karl and Charles – all caught limits with a 2-3/4 pounder thrown in for good measure – caught on Lures and PowerBait. Joe Greitl and Winter Douglas snagged their limits using PowerBait. Mark Hassell bested friend Mike Aldrete by an eighth of a pound hooking a 2-1/4 pounder.

The skeeters are back, so don’t forget the bug juice, but remember to try and keep it, your sunscreen and any other Foo-Foo juices off your hands – fish don’t like the taste or smell.

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. Also, if you meet stock on the trail, please go to the low-side, that way if the mules are startled they’ll go to the high side and not down the canyon.

The thunderbooms are staying in the forecast so pack the poncho. Looks like the temps will be in the high-60s to low 70s for the week and weekend with a chance of showers. Lows should be in the mid-40s thru the whole week. You can check out the weather forecast according to Howard our local weather ‘guesser’ at www.MammothWeather.com. You can also check out www.weather.gov – enter Aspendell, CA (which is the little community right below Lake Sabrina) in the search field and you’ll get the forecast for at the higher elevation. You may need to scroll down on the webpage to see the temps.
