Comments and Tips:

     Public access is only on the north side of the lake (the side where the parking lot is). Remember your Adventure Pass! Most bait fishing is done with Chartreuse or Rainbow colored Power Bait, the glitter ones work the best. There's usually a few fly fishermen in float tubes hooking up now and then, usually a limit if you find what the trout want to eat. Usually scud imitations and wooly buggers work, but I've had good luck with streamers and leech patterns, which on occasion hooks the smaller bass. Just a nice place to kick back and relax since it's not a popular place. Holder-over trout from the previous season's plantings do grow quite well with the scud and insect population and the very cold water temps during the winter months. I'd better quit now cause the locals might get pis__ed at me! wink wink
