Anyone know if you can still fish at Frenchman's Flat? Have they stopped planting? Somewhere in the back of my mind I remember that they closed the road to get up there. Any info would be helpful!

They stopped planting years ago.
Even though the road is still open, I've been hearing cars getting broken into because of the fact nobody patrols anymore.
Thanks, Dark Shadow! Appreciate the info!Quote:

The lack of any kind of enforcement means those that prey on working folks can operate with abandon. It was pretty amazing in it's day.
That's truly a shame about Frenchman's. It will NOT stop me from fishing Pyramid lake on Wednesdays. I'm hooked on the striper fishery on light tackle (avoiding the lake lice). Will be there 3-15 and will post a report.
