The runoff is here and the lake is charging up. SCE put creek flows to minimum on Wednesday and the lake came up 5ft in one day - that was actually a little too much so they slightly increased flows to allow for the final touches to be finished on the dam. Work is now supposed to be finished next Thursday. The water clarity at the lake is improving by the day - we're hoping to see crystal clear blue water we're used to seeing in the next few weeks. Fishing is still on the slow side overall but conditions are improving fast.

The fishing has remained excellent along most of stretches of the creek with some solid fish in the 2 to 3lb range. Most folks are really doing well in the slower moving pools and deep pockets. More solid 2 lb+ rainbows along with plenty of pan sized stockers are filling stringers. Thomas Bouyants, worms, mini-jigs, Panther Martins are producing best.
