The campground is closed. I talked with BLM and they have removed the damaged trees from the fire. They are working on the electrical and water lines right now, then to the reconstruction of the restrooms. There is a possibility they may open later in the season. But they are asking everyone to stay out of the campground area due to safety concerns. The CDFW planted the lake with catchable rainbow trout. Anglers have reported doing well with Powerbait or inflated nightcrawlers.

Good luck on your next fishing adventure. If you have a question. a report in our local fishing area or have a photo of your catch, send it to [email protected]. Hope to see you on the waters. Good fishin' and tight lines.
