  The paperwork position is blank for this one. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Should this one be busy, Green Lake Number 1 is 0.3 miles off. Nothing on this water should be assumed from this page alone.
