Our prayers and thoughts are with all service men and women who have fallen and those who continue to fight for our freedoms - We thank you!

Hope you all had a GREAT Long Ears Weekend - heard it was an awesome concert, an unbelievable parade powered all by the Long Ears, and lots of arts and crafts at the city park. Fun times were had by all!

The fun times will continue in a couple of weeks with the California High School State Rodeo Finals, once again, being held in Bishop June 11 to June 16 at the Tri-County Fairgrounds. The High School Rodeo offers amazing scholarship opportunities, family bonding, the chance to travel throughout the state, the ability to create unforgettable friendships and once in a lifetime memories. Home to nine districts of High School Rodeo, California has approximately 600 members that compete in rodeo events. The kids that participate in this rodeo are some of the nicest, most polite kids you will ever meet - so if you happen to be in Bishop that weekend - stop by the Fairgrounds for a few events and support them.

Now to the catching - trolling slowed a bit over the week, but fishing the Inlets with baits - NightCrawlers, Salmon Eggs or WoolyBuggers picked up. Drifting over the shoreline between the two natural lakes were producing some nice limits. If you're shore fishing, try and get away from the launch ramp area as this is where a lot of people like to fish.

Mom Nature was having a bit of fun, also, bringing a few four letter words to mind - w-i-n-d & s-n-o-w - lots of fun for the weekend. We had s-n-o-w Friday and Saturday along with the w-i-n-d - Sunday was a beautiful day. Despite the weather - lots of people enjoyed the Lake over the holiday weekend.

Forest Service campgrounds that are open are - THEY'RE ALL OPEN!

Got stocked by the DFG on Monday and will continue to stock each week till the end of the season!

KEEPING THIS IN - Guess it's that time of year to remind you of a few things - when using BUG JUICE (the skeeter are out and they are BIG - BIGGER THAN BIG) or SANITIZER you need to really wash your hands before fishing - then rub some Salmon Egg juice, worm dirt or Anglers Bros Trout attractant (got it in stock at the Lake) to take that smell off. Remember your polarized dark glasses and sunscreen - we saw a few anglers that looked a bit like cooked lobster last year. As there still is snow around, the rays from the snow are deadly!

You can check www.weather.gov and enter ASPENDELL, CA on the site and it will give you a fairly good hint at the weather or check in with Howard at www.MammothWeather.com.

We've gone to summer hours - really easy to remember -
