FISHING !!!!

Following the high mountains fire and storms a few years ago, the reservoir fish population has rebounded well. The Department of  Wildlife stocked Tiger trout and the residual spawning Rainbows are thriving.

My family and I fished solid last week, every morning for 3 hours amid the rest of their mountain experience.

Amazingly, all the trout are exceptionally heavy for this early in the season. They survived ice-over perfectly.

The Tigers are a sterile addition to the fishery and have serious teeth for a trout. They eat both anything and constantly.


Heavy snow pack put the lake over the spillway for two months this year.  Very good conditions for the spring Rainbow spawn.
