I would go up to the Crystal Basin recreation area. Ice House Reservoir day use area. Union Valley. Loon Lake. And for a real treat - Girle Creek Reservoir. Nothing but wild brown trout in there. Use nightcrawlers. Inflate em and float em up off the bottom.

Forebay res, Pollock Pines. Forebay Rd is the trailer park rd across from Raleys, east end of town. Follow N to a neat pond and park.

At twenty miles you are right at ice house road. Spirit's right, Ice house is an easy drive, you might like it.

Thank you conroy. I didn't know. What a neat park. Two years ago I caught fish off the dam face. Spent years in Crystal basin, quit when it became party central, Disneyland. I really liked Un ioun valley, the irrosion rip rap wiped out the bank fishing for us.Boat only. For us anyway. The 40' beaches they left are for swimmers. Our last trip looked like meth city. Hell with them.
