The weeds are clearing up as the weather cools. The water level is down a little. This will allow anglers to drive around the first cove to fish by the dam. Fishing has been rated as fair. My last trip to the lake was windy one, as usual. I saw one angler catch a nice 1.5 pound rainbow using green Powerbait. A special note to anglers. On the last weekend of the month, the lake will be planted by Alpine County fish and game, funded by the Alpine Chamber of Commerce and The South Tahoe Public Utility District. The campground and boat ramp has closed for the season. The unimproved launch ramp is open.
