Hi Bill
Great. Yes, I will be there. Can't speak for others, but I think there will be others. There will be a sign up at the entrance to Lightning Tree campground (5 miles up lake, on east side), saying where folks are (or were, if they left on sunday). Since I don't know how many are staying, can't say what spaces will be available for sharing, but I'm sure whoever is there will take you in if they have room. Single spaces hold 2 vehicles as a rule and doubles can hold as many as four vehicles.
Generally folks will put heads together in the evening as to where they will fish the next day. In the fall, I generally stay in the northern part of the lake at Fairview or Mosquito Slough. Fishing has always been good there in the fall, and these are just a little further on up the road (about another 2 miles) from our campground. There's tons of water to fish there. There are good signs, along the road (which becomes dirt) marking the fishing access points (like fairview, etc) when you leave the campground. Think bringing a kayak is a good idea---gives you more options as to how far you can go. Bring an anchor if you have one, in case you want to indicator fish (if you do that). Also, county law says a pfd is necessary.
Look forward to seeing you. Don't hesitate to email if you have further questions.
Betty

Check out flyfishwithdon.com for good advice about the lake (fishing report is old, but otherwise good stuff) Also
www.portola-ca.com is the website for the grizzly store at the lake. Good map there.
