Southland Water Levels, Hopes for Lunkers on Rise
Recent storms have muddied the waters and slowed fishing temporarily in many popular Southland lakes, but water levels have increased dramatically.
Randy King reported from Lake Casitas near Ventura that the level is up 14 feet from Feb. 28 and still rising--but still down 40 from normal.
“We got back everything (the water users) used last year,” King said. “Now if the water gets warmer, we’ll really take off.”
Jack Dempsey at Lake Isabella said, “These four weeks of storms have really helped. It’s already a better lake than we had last year, and it’s getting better every day.”
