Fishing Info:

    This is an excellent trout fishing lake when its not being hammered by all the swimmers, skiers, and wind surfers. Best times to fish are during the spring and fall when the weather is cooler. Rainbow trout are stocked abundantly by the DFG. There are also lake trout (mackinaw), kokanee salmon, and a few nice-sized brown trout in here as well. Good areas for trophy macks and browns are near the boat ramps where they plant the little stocker rainbows.
