Due to a planned power outage on Friday, June 7th, we will open at 11:00am.

Don't forget to pick up your license before hitting the Lake.

Watch out for the Deer - they are on the move!

Quite a wildlife weekend at the Lake - four deer upon the dam to get a look at the empty Lake - we also had a bear get into our outdoor freezer - his dinner - 12 hamburger buns, a loaf of wheat bread, four loaves of white and a bucket of butter. And don't forget the bald eagle family appearing at the front of the Lake periodically!

Got a bit of water in the Lake over the week - it's on the rise, but very, very slowly.

Fishing is starting to get a bit tougher as the Lake is on the rise - a tad bit more lake to hide in! Bait fishing (PowerBait, Salmon Eggs & NightCrawlers) is still outdoing lure fishing (Red & Gold Thomas Buoyants, Super Dupers or KastMasters). Lures are working in the morning and evenings, while bait fishing is performing better all around. Four-wheeling to front of the back natural Lake is getting a more & more challenging - although we haven't heard of anyone getting horribly stuck.

Sharon Hertan, pictured of Castaic lured out a nice 2-1/2 pound Alper using a Rapala F05TR Brown from the Lake this week. Heard a lot of anglers are still catching and releasing numerous limits.

Heard a rumble coming up the road and what did appear - a totally restored 1939 Indian motorcycle - don't see too many of those anymore. AWESOME!

The CrabApple out front and the Red Delicious in back are both in bloom and soon the small trail from the Café to the launch ramp will smell delightful due to the Canadian While Lilac. With everything starting to bloom, if you are prone to allergies - don't forget whatever you use, cuz the pollens of Spring are definitely in the air!

If you're coming to Bishop the week of June 11 to the 14th, you may want to make plans to attend some of the California High School State Rodeo finals at the Tri-County Fairgrounds. These are some of the most pleasant well-mannered kids you will ever have a chance to meet. If you have a chance, please take the time to support them in their bid to go to Nationals in Wyoming in July.

Looks like the temps are on the upswing - highs are to be in the mid-70s and lows are expected to be in the mid-30s. And the rain dancers - thank you - slight chance of thunderboomers in the forecast for Tuesday thru Thursdays. Weekend temps are on the rise - in the lower 80s for the highs and upper 30's for the lows. 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.

The work on the new bridge has resumed - there's a piling digger and lots of workers scurrying around the site - lots of activity in the area!

Don't forget the BUG JUICE -the skeeters are out and they are BIG - we're hoping this cold weather will eradicate the big ones so we can get to the little ones and then none at all - Remember when using the bug juice and SANITIZER you need to really wash your hands before fishing - then rub some Salmon Egg juice, worm dirt or Anglers Bros Trout attractant to take that smell off. Also, remember your polarized dark glasses and sunscreen.

It was a beautiful Memorial Day Weekend up at the Lake - awesome weather. Though the water is starting to trickle in slowly, the Lake is still too low for boating. Lack of water doesn't mean lack of fish - there are still many to be caught. With the w-i-n-d we had at the first...... Read More
