Well, it is looking like the government shut-down of New Melones Lake may last a while.
Obviously,
this will affect businesses in the local area- Glory Hole Sports
especially. With the Rim Fire causing such a reduction in tourism during
the month of September, this is a double hit for all local businesses.
To help us keep our cash flow positive, we will be offering a deep 20% discount
on all taxable merchandise in stock (no special orders). This includes
all tackle, marine supplies, sunglasses, clothing and hats, water
toys... basically everything in our store that you don't eat or drink.
We will offer it for one week- until Wednesday,
the 9th, or until the government gets their act together... whichever
happens first. We may extend the sale longer if the lake closure
continues.
So come
in, take advantage of the sale, and help keep our jobs funded (with no
help from the government!). Because, unlike them, we can't just "raise
the debt ceiling" or print more money when we run out of funds!

p.s.- remember there are plenty of good fishing holes still open!
Camanche Lake: The trout bite is starting to get better. Bass, catfish and crappie fishing is good.
Don Pedro: Fishes very much the same as New Melones. Bass and trout will be targeting schooling shad.
Spicer Reservoir: Up highway 4 this is a beautiful lake full of trout.
Lake Alpine: Has limited launching access due to low water. It is a perfect place for bank anglers targeting trout.
North Fork Stanislaus: Good for lure casting anglers and fly fishing.
