Where to Fish O'dell Lake


O'dell lake is lake located in the O'dell Creek Drainage of the Centennial Mountains. The route to lake is on the longer side, but travels through the beautiful O'dell Canyon. Difficulty of access has left this lake in its pristine state. The lake is full of life including tiger salamanders, tadpoles, and insects, but sampling in 2018 showed fish numbers are low. Wildlife can also be seen around the lake.
