The good news is catching at Lake Sabrina is still great - the not so good news is the Lake continues to drop and we are not yet renting boats due to the low water level - too many rocks sticking up in the channels. Mother Nature is just not ready to let winter end - a slight possibility of snow due in Monday - we need that summertime weather to start the run-off. It is what it is!

With the Lake so low, there is good shore access - you may be walking thru a bit of mud, so bring your old shoes and jeans (and maybe an extra pair of both, just in case - that mud tends to be a bit on the slick side). Upon reaching the Lake, all baits are working and there is some action with lures - especially our favorite, the red and gold Thomas Buoyant. The best bait we've heard doing the job is Salmon Eggs.

Along with the Bald Eagles returning this year, we also had a beaver spotted paddling around the Lake. No signs of bears on our side of the mountain, but there are a few roaming on the South Lake side - Bishop Creek Lodge & Parchers are dealing nightly with bears (hope they stay on that side of the canyon!).

CampSabrina and NorthLake Campgrounds are still closed as is the North Lake Road due to snow. All the other campgrounds are open and ready for your camping experience.

Our CrabApple tree is starting to bud as is the Lilac on the little trail from the Cafe to the boat launch. The Red Currants are also making a run at Spring with it's leaves starting to pop.

As I said, Mother Nature is still letting us know who's in charge - temps did warm up a bit on Thursday and Friday, but Saturday, the clouds returned to block that warm sun and we did have a few bouts of rain and little snowball pellets. A chance of snow on Monday, then it looks like the temps may get in the mid 50's toward Mule Day Weekend with the lows in the 30's - please don't hold me to those numbers - MOM is still in charge and strange things can happen in the mountains.
