Anybody been to Fish Lake, Idaho, yet in 2012

Has any one been in to fish lake this year? I thought it might still be wet/soggy soft, usually we go in August.

Around 2 weeks ago. Upper and lower thirds were soggy, middle part was ok and reasonably smooth for my itty bitty 6x6's:maybe 850' useable. Should be better now, but don't know how dry it will get for another couple of weeks. It got too hot/high da for me to go visit lately until it dries out. I'll be back in September.

I was there for the BCP convention and I thought the runway was in good shape. The water was a little high around the lake making it difficult to walk or camp on the shoreline.

Generally the bugs are very bad this time of year. In about three weeks the morning frosts will start and reduce the bug population .
