Is the water really that coffe stained this year, or is it just the colors in the pics? Which arm or basin were you in? My Ex-Mother-in-law (who is still Mom2) just moved from San Bernardino to Apple Valley and is within 20 minutes of the lake now. I may have to take my kids to visit her a little more often. ;-) I lived down there for a few years and liked fishing there except for the long drive from the San B/Riverside area. You gotta love a lake that you can get 2-5# Bass, 2-8# Cats and a 6# Striper all within 1 hour on a Mann's 20+ Deep Pig.
Tight lines,
