A Happy Mother's Day to all of you that were always there for us and have made our lives richer and better - Thank you so much! We hope you all had a GREAT Mom's Day! A BIG Thank You to all the Bishop Locals that came up to celebrate Mom's day - Ken & Jean brought their Mom for pie and ice cream.

Well, you know it had to happen - the catching has slowed a tad - the fishing is still GREAT - how could it not be with the beautiful scenery! It's not that you're not catching fish, you're just having to stay a bit longer to catch them - oh, darn - another hour at the Lake. Still saw lots of people up at the cleaning table.

Fishing the DingleBerry Inlet (back right corner) or the Little George Inlet (back left corner) or the George Inlet (about 1/3 of a mile this way of the Little George Inlet) with NightCrawlers, Salmon Eggs or jigs. Trolling the shoreline with NightCrawlers, Red & Gold Thomas Buoyants or WoolyBuggers - just watch out for those rocks. Drifting with PowerBait or NightCrawlers. For the land-lovers, fishing from shore with PowerBait or Salmon Eggs.

Got new furniture in both Pontoons so they're ready and waiting. Already getting reservations for the summer - so give us a call - they've got a BBQ and Bimini top - sure makes for a nice day at the Lake.

Forest Service campgrounds that are open are - BitterBrush, Bishop Park, Intake II, Four Jeffery and the Forks are all open. Look for Sabrina Camp and Willow Camp to open right before Memorial Day.

KEEPING THIS IN - Guess it's that time of year to remind you of a few things - when using BUG JUICE (the skeeter are out and they are BIG - BIGGER THAN BIG) or SANITIZER you need to really wash your hands before fishing - then rub some Salmon Egg juice, worm dirt or Anglers Bros Trout attractant (got it in stock at the Lake) to take that smell off. Remember your polarized dark glasses and sunscreen - we saw a few anglers that looked a bit like cooked lobster last year. As there still is snow around, the rays from the snow are deadly!

You can check www.weather.gov and enter ASPENDELL, CA on the site and it will give you a fairly good hint at the weather or check in with Howard at www.MammothWeather.com.

Lake Sabrina Boat Landing is serving Breakfast (Pie and Ice Cream are always good for Breakfast - you've got your fruit, oatmeal, dairy) from 7:00am to 11:00am and Lunch until 4:00pm on Friday, Saturday and Sunday for now. The store hours are as follows:
