This lake was stocked again with 2,500 larger and 500 more trophy rainbow trout this past week. The water is still low and the boat ramp is roughly 20 feet from the boat launch. A 4-wheel drive would be ideal for launching small boats. People have been catching a lot of trout from the bank and boat at this reservoir recently.
