Water Conditions:The water in the creek is very low and clear making for tough fishing. To be successful a stealthy approach with a good presentation will be required. The Lakes are maintaing there levels and temperatures quite well and fishing is good early and late in the day. The cooler fall temperatures will help extend the fishing times.

Fishing Conditions & Hatches:At 5,000 ft. elevation, the waters here normally stay cold year 'round! The stream sits 20 ft. from the lodge, and almost every bend has rainbow or brown trout lurking in the undercut banks! The fishing in the lakes is definitely on the upswing.

The Fly Shop's Tips: ??Two lakes and around a mile of stream provide anglers with wade fishing, bank fishing or float tubing. Opportunities for small trout and large trout, rainbows or browns on dries, nymphs, or streamers!! What more could you want? How about a comfortable lodge with a wet bar, huge fireplace, DirectTV, and gourmet food? No problem, it's all here!
