Wow, what a difference a week makes. Catching this week was great. The temps on the Lake were down-right warm and with the warmer air temps, the ice is getting rotten. We say "stay off the Lake", but did they listen, NO, off they went wading thru ankle deep water toward the already drilled holes from last week. Yes, a few got their limits, but I had the phone in hand ready to make that 911 call if need be - luckily, no one joined the Darwin Club this year.

The DingleBerry Inlet opened up quite a bit, with all baits and lures working, but it's quite a hike getting back there. One angler sent off at about 11:00am, post-holed back fished for an hour - caught about 12 fish using a Kastmaster tipped with a worm - and waded thru crotch deep snow to get back to the Landing. Jim Condry, John Condry, Dan Clayton and George Morris hiked back to Cooky's Point and fished thru cracks in the ice while keeping their feet on firm soil and limited out two days in a row.

Mother Nature had to have a say on Her day today - we woke to SNOW. Temps dropped from our low of 46 Saturday morning (yes, 46 degrees was our low Saturday) to our high of 38 degrees on Mother's Day. What a difference! Looks like temps are going to warm up toward the middle of the week, but a slight chance of showers (NOT SNOW) may be in store for us next weekend. 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.
