South Lake - Ice conditions at South Lake are thus far unclear – no reports of anyone drilling through the ice to test its thickness – but if years past are any indicator, there will be ice fishing at South Lake this season.

Southern California Edison is doing some work at the South Lake dam this spring, which is very fortunate for folks looking to wet a line up at South lake this opener because unlike most years, SCE has cleared the road of snow the entire way up to the lake. Before you get your hopes up too high, unfortunately the road will still be closed to public vehicle traffic at just above Parchers Resort – there simply isn’t enough parking up there to accommodate everyone. Thankfully, the usual 1 mile post-holing hike in the snow will be a relatively easy stroll along a snow-less paved road to reach the lake.
