We are slowly transitioning into spring and with that, fishing season. LADWP encourages everyone traveling to the Eastern Sierra to please adhere to all road closure signs. Extreme winter storms have resulted in hazardous conditions in local waterways. Soft, melting snow and ice can pose a serious danger. Please respect all warning signs, they are there for your safety! We encourage folks to venture to Pleasant Valley Reservoir, Mill Pond, Diaz Lake, and Buckley Ponds for the upcoming ‘fishmas’ weekend.

Thank you and stay safe!
