  • Experience

    The fishing location supports a rich biodiversity with species like rainbow trout, brown trout, chinook salmon, and various bass. There are amenities for fly and bank fishing, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced anglers. Family-friendly setup with facilities for parking and trails suggests comfort once the spot is reached.
