About this lake
A small Duck Mountain lake about 6.5 km north of East Blue Lake that has produced large brown trout up to 30 inches, plus smallmouth bass to 24 inches. Browns have been stocked here for years. Special regulations apply: all trout and bass must be released. Weighted nymphs and small leeches fished slow and deep are the fly-fishing ticket.
