Fishing this week was not much different than last week (you do remember the report from last week - right?) with eggs or worms working at the Dingleberry Inlet (the inlet on the back right). Trollers using leadcore line (down between 5 to 7 colors) with a frog-pattern lure or flashers were also doing well. Those drifting the lake were seen using worms and PowerBait and the shore anglers were using PowerBait.

Steve Harner caught and released two 2-pound browns on a Royal Coachman Fly (buy them in town as we do not carry them).

The Department of Fish and Game stocked the lake Tuesday with pan-size fish and a few fish tipping the scales at 2-pounds. If you happen to catch a fish with a tag in the gill, it`s just to let you know the DFG are stocking with some larger fish. We ask that you all be real careful this year and remember Smokey`s Motto - "Only YOU can prevent Forest Fires!"

As you can see by today`s pictures, it`s a wee bit overcast due to the moisture coming up from the hurricane. We had a splash of rain today - sure hope we get more. The temperatures are still in the low 70s for the highs and the high 40s for the lows. There is a chance of rain today (Howard got it right for Sunday) and Monday, then the temps should warm up during the week.

Nimrod took a leap from the boat to the dock and missed by only 5 feet. He was back in the boat within the hour. He is still the 'Have a Heart` kitty catching a golden mantle chipmunk, mouse and a garden snake (some of you guys thought it was too high for snakes - huh, I sure did) releasing them to be caught another day. Lo is now a striped lion-looking dog after lying against a newly resined boat. And Hi is still just being Hi.

We have our fleet of green fishing boats, 2 kayaks for rent along with a canoe and the Party Boat (pontoon boat) which has propane BBQ for those wanting to fry up some burgers or hot dogs with out on the lake and keep on fishing.

We had a black lab that got out of the owner`s truck on Thursday, May 17th. It was picked up by a father and son who were in a gray - gold - taupe Chevy Z71 extended cab. Please give us a call if you happened to have picked up the dog. The owner extended his trip, stopped by the lake 3 mornings hoping the people who picked up his dog had come back to see if anyone had lost a dog.

Our summer hours are 7:00am to 7:00pm. The cafe will be serving Breakfast from 7:00am to 11:00am and Lunch from 11:00am to 4:00pm everyday at least through Labor Day.

Remember your polarizers, sunscreen, bug juice and PONCHO along with a few layers of clothes - just in case.
