WATCH OUT FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS - THEY MAY BE LURKING AROUND THE NEXT CORNER ON THE ROAD!

It must have been the shock of SNOW on the satellite internet dish cuz it done stopped working - then sporadic service here and there - and the joys of living in a small town - the repair tech can't get out here until October 10th - so you'll see periodic updates from here on out.

And speaking of snow - we once again have some white stuff on the mountains in the back - brings a smile to our faces - it's a start for next season! Along with the snow came cooler weather and some stronger breezes and there went the quaking leaves of the Aspens at Lake Sabrina. The leaves in Aspendell are now just starting the transformation.

Not much has changed on the fishing scene - still the same stuff working on what is left of the Lake - Fishing in deeper water (that would be behind what is normally the Island or taking a bit of a hike to at least the front of the back natural Lake) with NightCrawlers or PowerBait. Fishing the inlets (not much water coming in at any of them) with a fly and a bubble, NightCrawlers, PowerBait or Lures are getting limits. Most are catching and releasing so as to not have to carry out a limit. And yes, depending on your auto, you can still drive to the front of the back Lake - AND PLEASE REMEMBER TO PICK UP YOUR TRASH when leaving - sure would appreciate it.

AND THE BRIDGE IS COMPLETE and boy, does it look great - the signals are gone - just don't get going too fast on the new mega bridge as its narrow at both ends and that could spell disaster.

Definitely that time of the year - cool temps - then a dusting of snow - then warm temps and breezes - you just never know. Check NOAA's website at http://www.weather.gov and enter ASPENDELL, CA on the site and it will give you a fairly good hint at the weather up at the Lake or check in with Howard at www.MammothWeather.com.

Remember when using the bug juice and SANITIZER you need to really wash your hands before fishing - then rub some Salmon Egg juice, worm dirt or Anglers Bros Trout attractant to take that smell off. Also, remember your polarized dark glasses, JACKETS, and sunscreen.

Got the deck painted and most of the building - still need to stain the red - oh, and - if you happen to come by and see a "CLOSED - GONE FISHIN" sign on the door, it's because we haven't had a car in the lot for at least an hour or two and we're tired of scraping and painting - hope you understand the closed sign - the fish are calling. Bryan will be here during the week periodically to give us a chance to get off the mountain.
