Anglers who want a quiet pond to themselves in April or May will find this hard to beat. Four sites means real solitude, the pond gets its annual trout restock in spring, and there's an accessible fishing platform if mobility is a factor. Pack in all your water.
No vault toilets, no potable water, and only a portable toilet on-site. Anyone unwilling to haul drinking water and pack out every piece of trash will find this setup more work than it's worth.

Spring delivers the best conditions here. Daytime highs run 50-65°F from April through May, with nights dropping into the 30s and 40s. The pond gets restocked with rainbow trout in spring, and feeding activity peaks during these months. Early mornings and dusk produce the best fishing. Trails and sites see lighter use than summer, so you'll have more solitude. Winter activities are possible given the elevation, though primitive facilities mean you're on your own for water and waste.
Described as best time: pond is restocked in spring and spring/early summer yields top fishing.
