The weather is hot, and it's catfish season at Hesperia. Weekly stocks are being dropped every Friday, so there's plenty of fish to be caught. But the rising water temps are making midday fishing sluggish. The real time to fish is Friday or Saturday, when they keep the lake open until 10 p.m. Once the sun drops, the bite has been excellent on garlic shrimp, chicken livers, and night crawlers.
