Well, for the first time anyone can remember, South Lake found minimum pool during the first week of September. Apparently Los Angeles DWP would rather store water in places like Haiwee Reservoir where recreation is prohibited as opposed to somewhere people can make use of the water before they send it down to the big city. It's a shame.

Just a handful of anglers tried their luck this week, all of whom reported slow fishing. We're still hoping someone will get lucky on a giant Brown this fall with the lake being just a fraction of its normal size, but time will tell.
