I haven't been up to the lake for a long while. But I do know it's super low. They are supposedly expecting another El Nino and are trying to make room for the run-off. That flume you are talking about empties out into a power plant on the Lower Kern. It runs somewhere down along the bottom of the lake. I've also heard it holds some decent fish. I haven't heard a good bass report from there for a couple of years. Maybe the local bassers are just keeping their mouths shut. More power to 'em. Thanks for the reply.
