This relatively deep lake is primarily managed for Rainbow Trout and Kokanee. The lake supports good harvest opportunity for hatchery Rainbow Trout 9-15" and Kokanee up to 15" as well as naturally reproducing populations of Largemouth Bass, Bluegill Sunfish, Coastal Cutthroat Trout and Rock Bass. Rainbow Trout are typically caught trolling lures or still-fishing bait on the bottom or under a bobber. Success targeting Kokanee is found while fishing with downriggers or leaded line with a baited wedding ring or spoon. The Kokanee fishery can start off slow in April but fishes well as the weather warms. During the dog days of summer early mornings and late evenings can yield good catches of delicious Kokanee.
Two-pole fishing is allowed
Shoreline access: Good - Bank fishing includes the area around the boat launch on the east side of the lake.
