The lake has brook and rainbow trout. There are no boat-launching facilities, so it is float tubes, canoes, or kayaks only. Last week, the lake had a nice tint of green over the water. Salmon eggs, night crawlers, or throwing a small Kastmaster are the best tickets for this lake.

Good luck on your next fishing adventure. If you have a question. a report in our local fishing area or have a photo of your catch, send it to nevada@fishreports.com. Hope to see you on the waters. Good fishin' and tight lines.
