The only way to get to the lake is the back way off of airport rd. And up the dirt road. Use caution, it's quite a bumpy ride going in. I fished with long time friend Dana Judd last week. One angler had caught 2 nice rainbows when we arrived. We talked to another angler that brought his small Jon boat. I recommend not to take anything larger than that up there. A canoe or float tube would be perfect. Dana and I fished for 3 to 4 hrs with only a couple hits. The boat angler claimed he had caught 7 and lost 5 fish. I did see him real in one fish. The lake level is up and the water is pretty clear, with a few weeds here and there.
