Snowed in. Ice thickness unknown, but I very much doubt anything less than a 5ft auger blade would hit water in most places….I’d guess more like 7ft if I was a betting man. South hasn’t been stocked since 2020 so I’d spend my time elsewhere until it thaws, and we get some fish in there.

South Lake Road – Open from the junction at Hwy 168 W to just beyond Bishop Creek Lodge. Inyo County has started snow removal operations on the road however progress has been slow due to snow depth and debris. From the closure the road might appear clear, trust us – it’s not. Parking is exceedingly limited. It is 3 miles to Parchers and 4 miles to South Lake from the closure.
