Pardee Recreation Area, 4900 Stony Creek Rd., Ione, CA 95640
Great fishing excellent trails for hiking or horseback riding
Beautiful lake, good for fishing especially lightning (golden) trout is very beautiful and descent size, bass bites really well. The entry fee is 10 dollars and fishing permit is 7 dollars for every 5 fish you catch.
Pardee reservoir always seems full even when nearby Hogan is just a puddle (November 2022). The entry to Pardee from Valley Springs is nice. Continue over bridge and stop at the vista point for beautiful view, then keep going through foothill back road to Jackson. Great day trip.
Love going here with family. Friends or by myself. Clean restrooms. Little store for what you forgot back home. Pricey but hey you forgot. Fishing is really good or really bad. No in between.
