Anyone ever fish Haiwee Reservoir off the 395 before it was closed by LADWP? I spotted it a while back while cruising up to the Bishop region. Beautiful lake(s). Got the urge to research it a bit and found quite a bit of interesting history on it, including the current battle to reopen access. Oh, and that is has smallmouth, largemouth, brown, rainbow, and plenty of other tantalizing fish to catch...

I ended up talking with the Owen's Valley Committee, found out about this letter they sent the Mayor of LA.


If anyone's interested, I did a little writeup on the whole debacle here:

Maybe one day it will be reopened, but it's going to take a lot of willpower to do so...and probably a different climate at the LADWP to see it through.
