"ALL INCLUSIVE" means Fish Lake Fishing is also included in your trip fare at Marble Mountain Ranch.
Fishing Adventures At The Fish Lake |
 |
In the afternoon and evenings of our Thursday itinerary we schedule an outing to Fish Lake. The native and planted rainbow trout, small mouth bass and blue gill keep the fishing active while you enjoy the day in this spectacular setting. The lake is bounded by heavily wooded National forest and lake margins filled with flowering lilly pads. We find the most fishing success by working from the center of the lake toward the lake margins and by fishing from our drift boats, rafts, and kayaks. We provide closed bail spinning rods for the youngsters and Shimano and G-Loomis equipment for the adults. |
Fly Fishing Lessons At Fish Lake |
This is also our favorite place to introduce fly fishing to our interested guests. Most of our first time fly fishing guests are able to entice rapid strikes by roll casting terrestrial fly patterns along the edges of the lake lilly pads. The setting at Fish Lake is remarkably beautiful. The forest here is lush and full of wild life. We often see otters, eagle, osprey, deer and even bear. Since we are higher in elevation at this site, we suggest sweaters and warmer clothing for camp activities in the cooler evening hours. |

Fish Outing With Campfire Games And BBQ |
While the main agenda of the Fish Lake event is to fish, we keep our campsite base filled with drinks, pre-dinner snacks and organized camp games for those choosing not to fish. Consider bringing your artist's sketch pad, landscape or wildlife photo lens, or a good book as alternate activities that are suited for the lake. The lake also has a beautiful trail around the perimeter that makes a nice 1/2 hour hike.

As the sun sets, we bring the boats in to the docks, and start our evening campfire with a cook -out, fish fry, "smores" building and campfire games. The evening and day are perfect for family bonding and letting the kids experience a lake-side camp scene. Our fish lake adventure is located off-site from Marble Mountain Ranch, and our drive to the lake usually takes about 35 minutes in our vans and trucks. We usually have you back to your ranch cabin at around 10:00 P.M. for a good nights rest prior to the next day's ranch activities. |
Fish Lake Gear - What To Bring |
| While we provide all the tackle, rods and equipment for the lake and camp adventures, you will still need to have a fishing license if you are older than the free fishing minimum age of 16. While at the ranch, you will have opportunity to purchase a license at the Salmon River Outpost , if you have not been able to obtain one prior to coming to the ranch. You should also bring a change of warmer clothing for the evening, river clothing you can swim in, insect repellent, camera and possibly a musical instrument. You of course are always welcome to bring your favorite fishing tackle if you choose to travel with it to the ranch. |
