truly excellent place to fish fish for trout. Last week I caught 56 trout in a five hour span, most 10 inches and above. Stick to the river, it has better fishing than the dock.

It is hatchery supported so trout are plentiful. Full of bass but no one really fishes there for bass so some are really large. A variety of aquatic life, easily accessible, an all around great fishing spot. If you tire of fishing the lake, just below the dam is a creek that is stocked but you can catch lots of little wild rainbows. Last trip I caught a 22", 5lbs fat rainbow. I was pleased to say the least.
