So this weekend I was with my son at the Cub Scout Klondike Derby at Camp Emerson. Klondike Derby is basically a snow camp. He also earned his Penguin Patch, which is awarded to those who are brave enough to actually camp in a tent on the snow.
Our tent on the snow next to Strawberry Creek.
After the derby was over, we took some time to go check out a little lake near Idyllwilde that I'd like to fish when it thaws out a bit.
Frozen Lake Fulmor
Lake Fulmor is a natural lake surrounded by beautiful landscape.
Fishing a frozen lake
The lake has Large Mouth Bass and is stocked with trout by the DFG.

So, once the weather warms up a bit and the ice thaws out, I'd like to go try this lake out. I saw many areas around the lake that looked like great LMB hideouts. The only problem right now is that people see that lake frozen and do stupid things. They think, "Oooooo! I wonder if the ice is thick enough to hold a 2 liter bottle of soda!" So there is lots of garbage in the ice right now because people think it's fun to throw garbage on a frozen lake and see what it does. But other than that, it looks like a nice place.
