About the Lake:
This is actually a system of lakes and creeks and it is an incredible place to visit. We were in awe of the sheer beauty in the area, the quality of the campsites and just how many places there were to fish and have fun. This is definitely a place to bring your own boat, but they do offer rentals if you prefer not to.

Boating Restrictions:
All boats must be operated under state regulations and owners must have proper registration and licensing.
Fishing:
This area is all about trout and you won't believe the size of the fish in these lakes. They are worth the trip on their own, regardless of how gorgeous the area is. Browns in excess of 15 pounds are quite common and you'll also find plenty of brookies and even the very special golden trout.
We really hoped to be able to land a golden, since they are so rare and hard to catch, but unfortunately it wasn't to be. We did however manage to get some monster browns and had a lot of fun trying. We highly recommend bringing some fly fishing gear with you for a whole new experience.

You must have your California fishing license and they do have daily limits that must be observed. The lake management specifically states:

BAG LIMIT: 5 per day, 10 in possession
