Established in 1924 to serve farmers and ranchers downstream in Nevada, the reservoir quickly proved itself a fishery. It holds rainbow and brown trout plus some Sacramento perch, fed by a rich eco-system similar to Crowley Lake. Trolling, still-fishing and fly-fishing all produce.

Hwy 395 at the stop sign, then take the first left onto Jack Sawyer Road and follow the dirt road. There is a
