Oh what a difference a week makes especially in the weather department. Temps were back up in the high 60s with beautiful blue skies and the quaking Aspen appearing to glow - absolutely spectacular. The canyon overflowed with photographers; in fact, think there were more cameras around than fishing poles.


The catching part of fishing is on the slow slide. The DingleBerry Inlet is still your best bet with NightCrawlers, Jigs (Sierra Slammers) or PowerBait. Trolling is a bit better than it was last week using lures or NightCrawlers. Shore fishing with PowerBait or NightCrawlers or drifting thru the channels using NightCrawlers.


Kenny Jableck of San Diego caught a nice 2-pound rainbow using a NightCrawler, while Darin Heisch of Simi Valley pulled in a 3-pounder, also on a NightCrawler.


Still have the deer around looking for a bite to eat, this week they found the apple tree down by the gas pump.


North Lake and Willow campgrounds are closed for the season. Camp Sabrina is scheduled to close on October 15th - getting a bit cool at night for the potable water.


Temps are expected to be about the same for the week - highs in the mid-60s and lows in the mid-30s for lows - no precipitation in the forecast for the week - we best be starting to dance. DON'T FORGET YOUR JACKETS & YOUR WOOLIES! You can also check out www.weather.gov - enter Aspendell, CA (which is the little community right below Lake Sabrina) in the search field and you'll get the forecast for the higher elevation or take a look at Howard Sheckter, our local weather 'guesser' report at www.MammothWeather.com.


Remember the sunscreen, ponchos and dark polarized glasses. The glare off the water is tough on the eyes. And if you have allergies - PACK YOUR MEDS. It's tough breathing out there for some - what with runny noses, stuffed noses & watery eyes, believe us, we know!


One other important item - bug juice, hand sanitizer, sunscreen, cologne, perfume, or any other foo-foo juice is like a fish repellent. If you use any of these items you're basically using fish repellant, and will need to wash your hands, then apply Bite-On fish attractant or rub your hands in worm dirt or pour some Salmon Egg juice on your hands... anything to get the foo-foo stink off your hands.


The Café is closed for the season. We will continue to be open for boat rentals, tackle, snacks and cold drinks for a few more weeks.
