[BatRay]

I worked for So Cal Edison's Forestry Department last summer, and one of my interpretive activities was diving (snorkeling, really) in Shaver Lake. There's definitely a lot to see up there, but sadly, I don't think spearfishing is allowed. There are smallmouth bass, catfish, carp, brown and rainbow trout, bullfrog tadpoles, kokanee salmon (never saw those), and that's all I can think of for now. The viz is pretty good, but the boating activity stirs up silt as the season goes on. Sometimes you run across sunken logs from the old logging operations. Those are really, really cool. I haven't tried Pine Flat or Millerton, though I'd be interested in giving it a shot.

Yeah that big Riffe gun is amazing. I was with Mike at the Riffe clinic when he got it. Very, very cool.
