 The ice has just gone off of Nimpo Lake, which means the fishing is going to be excellent!


You'll find that fishing for Rainbow Trout in Nimpo Lake can be quite an adventure because they're real fighters and very feisty after being stuck under the ice all winter! My favorite way to fish for them is from a boat but with a fly rod because you get a lot of action on your line and keeping the fish on can be a real challenge.
Nimpo Lake is full of freshwater shrimp which give the flesh of the trout a red color the same as salmon and you won't find a better tasting fish anywhere!
Come on out to this great lake and enjoy the stunning mountain views, great fishing, and great company. See you at the boat launch!
