Fishing off the dock has been very productive with rainbow trout, burbot, pike and other species. In addition, this property is part of shoreline restoration program with FWS as all five species of salmon are reproducing in the lake and you can watch baby salmon activity along the lake shore in the shade of the restored vegetation.
