access from the highway. Use only electric trolling motors on this long, narrow
lake that is home to rainbow, cutthroat, brook and brown trout. Spring and fall
are the best times for the browns, while summers supply a good yield for

fishing stations that can accommodate several people, and a special access
restroom.
