It was a quiet week at LakeSabrina due to the breezes and cool temperatures. Edison is filling the lake and it came up quite a bit over last weekend - remember when last Sunday there was hardly any water visible in the boulder field (which is where the creek runs) - now look, Rick can almost put a boat out.

A few anglers ventured to the inlet and did very well with just about anything they threw. They said the walk wasn't that bad, but then they were in their early 20s. Like I said, the lake is coming up and the front part of the lake is ice-free, but lots of snow and ice around the shores. JUST WATCH WHERE YOU WALK - WATCH OUT FOR THOSE ICE SHELVES.

There is a very slight chance of some more of the solid form of water blessing us again along with that nasty four letter word w-i-n-d for the next few days - then onto warmer temps for next weekend (but you all know how things can change). We're ready for SUMMER, apparently MOM still is into WINTER! As it took me a bit to get thru this report, it started snowing at about 11:00 am and at 2:00 now it still hasn't quit.

The following campgrounds are open in the Bishop Creek Canyon - Bishop Park, BitterBrush, Big Trees, Four Jeffery and the Forks. The price this year to camp at the Forestry campgrounds are $21.00. The only USFS campground that accepts reservations is Four Jeffery. There 31 sites available for reservations: you can book on-line at www.recreation.gov or call 1-877-444-6777. All other campsite at Four Jeffery and the other campgrounds are first come, first served. There is a full hook-up RV campground - Creekside RV park which is on the road to South Lake.

The roads to North Lake and South Lake are still impassable due to snow and ice. But there are new residents under the bridge at the North Lake road - beavers and what a new home they have built. Stop by and take a peek.

Haven't heard of anyone this year going thru the ice - yet, but as the weather warms, please be careful - also, remember your polarized dark glasses and sunscreen - we saw a few anglers that looked a bit like cooked lobster. You've got that sun coming at you in ALL directions and the rays from the snow are deadly! Also, remember when after applying sunscreen, bug juice or any other FOO-FOO juice, WASH YOUR HANDS! The juice you apply will taint your tackle and bait. You know it tastes yucky, the fish think it tastes yucky, too, although have you ever tasted PowerBait or Worms - to each their own.

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 LakeSabrina Boat Landing will serve Breakfast from 7:00am until 11:00am and Lunch until 4:00pm on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
