Didn't catch any fish and Lopez Lake, but lots of fun anyway
If a fishing trip is defined by whether you catch fish, we failed at Lopez Lake over the weekend. My wife, Mary, and I tried several spots. Our fish findeer beeped like crazy at one of them. But not a single bite. So how come we felt we had a great time? It was the sunsets at the lake and the Highway 166 going over to it, a trillion stars on Friday night (you get out of Bakersfield and you can actually see what's up there), Kahlua by the campfire, a ribeye medium rare on the grill and the abundance of wildlife. There were deer that ate chips out of Mary's hands (yes, I know shame on her); wild tkurkeys we had to stop on the road for, about 30 quail that wandered near our campsite, fawns that pranced through the same area and a bird fest all over the lake. There were blue herons, white egrets, cormorants, ducks of all shapes and sizes, turkey vultures and golden eagles. A few fish would have been nice, but we were satisfied with the rest. 4 comments from 3 users

He was a 67-year-old man who apparently committed suicide. We don't generally cover suicides so we didn't name him in the paper. posted by

Lopez is only about 12 minutes from my house but still have only camped there twice. We both love it. I've caught one fish total and that was about the size of my thumb, seriously. I think the local fishermen seem to do better in the spring. I've seen huge piles of very fat crappie. We like Mallard Cove when camping with the grand kids, playground and a view of the lake.
