If you want to get out of town for a day of fishing and not have to drive too far, this is a good place to go. Whether trolling from a boat or fishing from shore, the fishing is usually pretty decent. It's open year round, but make sure you have a fishing license if you're 14 or older.

Great camping and fishing. Take your drift boat (strone motor) and catch your limit with a variety of fish. Hot in the summer. Fall and spring months are great.

Frank Crowe was an engineering wizard and he perfected his skills here first before trying them out on Hoover/Boulder Dam years later. Worth the trip!
