The lake offers primitive camping on the south side of the lake. The campground area is closed, and no campfires are allowed. Right now, the lake has an algae bloom. There is a primitive boat launch for small aluminum boats, kayaks, canoes, and float tubes. Get out to the deeper water near the campground, and fishing should be good for both trollers and fly anglers.

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.
