Those who fish: The lower Kern is a mess of muddy water. The upper Kern isn't so bad but some say it's not the best conditions for fishing right now. You do have to watch the skies. Weather reports have been 20% chance of afternoon thunderstorms and showers everyday since last Saturday. But they don't show anything over next few days and it does change daily. Current storm issues are unpredictable. WATCH THE SKIES and get to high ground fast when it looks questionable. We do the weather every day from Corps of Engineers at Lake Isabella dam. http://www.kernvalley.com/news/weather.htm
The lake is doing great for fishing...and you don't have to worry about flash floods, just watch the wind conditions.
