Located on Methow Wildlife Area four (4) miles east of Winthrop. Anglers need to be aware of gear and bag limit restrictions based on time of year. Expect rainbows in the 10-12 inch range. Lake has a tendency to winterkill, so some supplemental plants of catchable rainbows may be needed in spring each year. Spring plants of catchable rainbow should provide fish in the 12-14 inch range during the fall fishery. Mudslides following the 2014 wildfires have inundated the campground, boat launch, and shoreline with several tons of sediment. Restoration of access and facilities is unknown.
