Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. If the gate is shut, Kleaver Lake at 0.4 miles is the nearest alternative. For Blueberry Lake, the notice at the access point is the final word.
