Notes: | This lake is easy to access, you can drive right to it, but it probably gets overlooked by the crowds at Detroit Lake, and that's a good thing! There are lots of logs that make for good cover for the trout and easy access for the bank fisherman. If you fish your flies wet, count on losing some on the underwater logs. |
