Great local fishing

DateTuesday, June 12, 2012 at 2:41PM

My wife Penny and daughter Melissa enjoyed some great fishing at Shaver lake this past weekend.  Shaver Lake is located an hour from Fresno and sits at about 6000 foot elevation.  The lake was emptied over the winter to reface the dam.  Two interesting things occurred as a result.  The first was seeing the original dam that has been underwater for 100 years.  The pictures below show the old gate house is still intact and the dam still held back the water. 

 

 

The second great thing was that the town stocked the lake with alot of very nice rainbow trout.  As you can see below, catching 3 to 7 pounders is not a problem.
