Well, the season is closed for 2009. We had a great year of fishing and the weather seemed to cooperate all year.
The leaves stayed on almost to the end. They were not as bright this year (probably the warm, dry weather) but they were still pretty nice.
For reservations for 2010 please call the lodge at 760-873-4484. If we are not there please leave a message and we will get back to you. We are probably skiing or snowmobiling.
See you in 2010!!
Gary, Suzie, Derick, Tina and the staff at BCL

WEATHER
The weather has been great. Daytime temps in the low 80’s with the nights in the 40’s. There have been mostly gentle breezes with some days having gusty conditions on the lakes. Skies have been clear with a few high clouds. Very nice weather.
SOUTH LAKE
The water level continuing to drop very slowly with the lake about 6 ft. below spill. The fishing has been spotty but some coming in with nice stringers. Nightcrawlers have been about the best with Powerbait close behind. Nice fishing around the dam with Salmon Eggs and Powerbait. Behind the island has been pretty good with Thomas Buoyants or gold Kastmasters. Trolling is beginning to pick up a few nice fish and should improve as the season goes on.
BISHOP CREEK
The creek level remains perfect with the fishing fair. Most of the fish have been nice sized but are hard to get. Worms doing very well and casting a silver Panther Martin has been bringing in quite a few fish. The key on the creek is to move if you are not catching fish. They are there; it’s just a matter of finding them. Starting to get a little color change on the higher elevations.
NORTH LAKE AND INTAKE II
North Lake has probably been the best area to fish. Chunky Cheese Powerbait has been best and some nice action with Stingers. Again, the sizes are nice for stockers. Most close to the pound range.
Intake two has been doing well with Stingers and olive Matukas. Starting to get some good action with Salmon Eggs.
Lake Sabrina has been fair to good. Trolling on the far side with Thomas Buoyants has been successful. Nightcrawlers in the back of the lake have been good. Powerbait by the dam.
BACKCOUNTRY
The higher elevation lakes continue to do well. The mosquitoes are still around so bring repellent and the sun is intense so bring sunscreen. Small black gnats have been working well and, of course, green bodied mosquitoes. Some good action with Mepps and Panther Martins.
