Notes: | Deadman Lake is a pretty high mountain lake that provides good fishing. It is a short enough hike that you could use a float tube or other small floating device. Fishing from a canoe, raft or float tube would make fishing easier. The road that leads down to the lake is a steep dirt two track, it it is wet or muddy it can be impassible. You may get down to the parking area, but you will have trouble getting back up and out of there even with four-wheel drive. Deadman Lake is full of RBxWCT that will readily take dry flies from shore during the spring, summer and fall. |
