THE NEW BOAT RAMP IS HERE!

The fishing season here at Crowley is winding down, but you
still have several more weekends to come up and enjoy the fall
fishing. If you like to troll, this is your time of year.  The big
browns and rainbows are trying to put on some weight to get
them through the winter season.

The Department of Fish and Game has been busy for next year,
they just planted about 100,000 Kamloops this past week.  Last
month, they put in 80,000 Eagle Lakes, 100,000 Colemans, and
about 60,000 Cutts.  Along with these, we still have a bunch of
browns to go in, so things are looking good for next season.  More
good news, this time from the L.A. Dept of Water and Power and
Crowley Lake Fish Camp: THE NEW BOAT RAMP IS HERE!
Construction began this past week on a brand new ramp for the
2009 season.

This is also the prime time for taking in the fall scenery in
the Sierra's. The cool nights and warm days have started
transforming our trees into the beautiful orange and yellows
that make this time of year so special. Come on up, hit the
lake in the morning, and then run up to the June Lake loop
for an afternoon of our fall colors.

dilution for Quagga/Zebra treatment is 1 cup bleach to 1 gallon water.
Boats equipped with “fast bags” will also be required to bleach bags at
the main gate prior to entry at Crowley.
