For those of you who haven't heard yet, here's an update...
The U.S. Forest Service has announced the lake will open to shore fishing and boat launching Friday, July 2. There will be no marina, bait shop, boat rentals, or campground, but the lake will open for the holiday weekend. For information, call the USFS at (661) 296-9710.
If anyone does any striper fishing, post a report. I'm thinking about trying something new from the old kickboat.
