April 14, 2023 15 days till Fishmas

Crowley Lake Fish Camp

April 14, 2023 15 days till Fishmas
Warmer temps have made things better, but not great...We still have at least 2-3ft of ice everywhere we haven't plowed & this includes the lake. We have cleared out all of our boats, and the cinders we spread melted out all of the docks, but we don't have anywhere to put them. It is still possible the lake could thaw by the 29th but we need the night time temps to rise and some wind.
What should you not expect for Fishmas? Please read this carefully!
You should not expect to camp. The North Landing will not be open and you should not expect to access (by wheeled vehicle) any part of the lake by dirt road. It is possible there will be some shoreline camping at the South Landing and we are clearing out our RV Park and Cabins hoping to open those.
You should not expect to dock a private boat. We will not have the time to safely complete our private dock installation. We are going to work through calling everyone that has current opener dock reservations & you may either reschedule this season, or we will cancel your reservation and give you a full refund. You may also email your requests to crowleyreservations@gmail.com.
We are going to continue our battle and work to open our RV Park and Cabins, and we really hope to be able to get our rental dock and boats in the water as well. We still can not make any promises, & we need some luck. If you want to continue waiting to see what happens, great, we will allow for last minute cancellations and refunds. If you want to work to reschedule, that might not be a bad idea....Please remember to be patient, we have hundreds of reservations to help people with!
What you should know, The Eastern Sierra Trout Opener is happening whether there is open water or not. It will not be postponed. Check in with other lakes in the area to see how they are doing, everywhere is different! Check River and stream flows, know they will change throughout the day depending on temps. Ice Fishing is legal, you better know before you go.
Stay tuned.
