Summary
The lake is surrounded by stunning mountain scenery and nearby activities include hiking, camping, and boating. Fishing tips include using lures or bait that resemble the natural food sources in the lake, such as insects and small fish. The best time to visit is typically in the summer months when temperatures are mild, averaging around 70°F during the day. However, fishing can also be good in the fall when the water cools down and fish become more active.

Angling Safety Guidelines
Check local fishing rules, seasons, size limits, and license requirements to ensure legal and sustainable angling.
Handle Fish Responsibly
Use wet hands, minimize air exposure, and release fish gently to improve survival rates when practicing catch-and-release.
Choose the Right Gear
Match your rod, line, and tackle to the species and conditions to increase success and reduce unnecessary harm to fish.
Respect the Waterway
Avoid disturbing habitat, prevent bank erosion, and keep a safe distance from spawning areas to protect ecosystems.
Keep It Clean
Pack out all line, hooks, bait containers, and trash—discarded gear can injure wildlife and degrade waterways.
