Calling all Bishop area experts.....

I'm looking for information on South Lake. I haven't fished the lakes above Bishop much since I was a kid, done most of my fishing from Rock Creek north to Bridgeport.

Anyhow...my family is investigating a few properties in the Bishop area and I'm hoping someone here can give me some feedback on how fishing is, specifically at South Lake.

I understand its a reservior but are the water levels relatively stable?
How does the fishing compare with North Lake and Sabrina?
How does that area compare to the June Loop or the Mammoth Basin?
Is South lake deep or shallow?
Is it mostly a trolling lake or does it offer good still fishing opportunities?
Is the shoreline easily accessible?
Does South Lake get much fishing pressure?

Has anyone rented boats from the landing there?
Are they junk? Underpriced or Overpriced?
How is their selection of tackle?
Is the staff there knowledgable?
Is the lake big enough to handle a lot of boats or does it get crowded easily?


How is the creek below the lake?

Are there campgrounds at South Lake?

Any and all input on South Lake would be appreciated....info on the area in general would be welcome too.

peace,
smitty
