Lake is privately owned by the Guglielmino brothers and
is reserved exclusively for Bull Hill Guest Ranch. It
is approximately 20 acres in size, and stocked with rainbow
trout. It is a natural spring fed lake, dating back to
prehistoric times. Don and Pete's great grandfather Peter
Ansaldo founded the lake as his original homestead in
1903 when he emigrated to this country from Italy. It
has been passed down through four generations, and is
enjoyed today by visitors nation-wide as a favored destination
for mountain fly fishing.
A catch and release policy and limited access to only
ranch clientele makes this an ideal sport fisherman's
paradise. The feisty Rainbow trout weigh up to 10 lbs
and early evening hatches provide great opportunities
for dry-fly casting either from the dock or boat. The
shoreline is lined with reeds and is not appropriate for
wading, however, it is an ideal lake for float tubing.
• Rowboats are provided at no extra charge, but
bring your own float tubes and fishing gear. The ranch
does not provide nor stock any fishing equipment, gear
or tackle.
• You can drive right to the lake's shoreline during
the months of April-October. The lake freezes over in
mid-November and opens in mid-April.
• No fishing license is required.
• May, June and October are the most popular months
for fishing this lake.
• The lake is also ideal for swimming during the
months of June-September and features a float raft out
in the middle for sun bathing, or fishing.
• The lake is located less than one mile from The
Cookhouse, and has a hitching post for those riding to
the lake by horseback.
• No motors or jet skis allowed.
• No live bait; barb less hooks only.
