This is one of my favorite places to go and take people who have never fished before. Easy access anywhere along the lake free to enter and easy parking. The lake is stocked regularly and good size trout are caught there. You will also see a lot of fly fishermen on the river below in the outlet of the Dam and some great trophy fish along that River, it's the Truckee I believe. During the summer can be used for skiing boating and all the usual summer activities and gets a lot more busier
