Great place to fish with fly rods or "gear". Home to Stocked Rainbows and a healthy population of breeding Brown Trout in the 12 to 14 inch range. It's busiest during the warm days of summer (it's at 5300 feet so can be nice and cool when the Valley is HOT and can be quite cool when temps cool down in the State). I fish it with a float tube - (no gas motors are allowed) and find most of the fish I catch in mid-depth water out from shore.

Beautiful lake, very clear water and great fishing, kayaking and paddle board. Quiet and secluded, this is a great place to relax and drown some worms. Staff is very friendly and do a good job at keeping the restrooms clean and functioning. If youre headed to the emerald pools, this is a must see!

About Fuller Lake
Nestled in the beauty of the Sierra Nevada foothills, Fuller Lake is a hidden gem for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers. Situated at a refreshing 5300 feet, this serene lake offers a cool retreat away from the valley's summer heat. Fuller Lake is a prime fishing spot, boasting a healthy population of breeding Brown Trout and stocked Rainbow Trout. With its clear waters and peaceful environment, you can enjoy a day of fishing with either fly rods or traditional gear. Gas-powered motors are not allowed, preserving the tranquility as you paddle out in a kayak or float tube. Beyond just fishing, Fuller Lake is an ideal destination for kayaking and paddle boarding, giving you a chance to glide through the pristine waters and soak in the idyllic surroundings. The lake is especially charming in the early evening when you might catch fish jumping out of the water—a delightful spectacle not to be missed. Accessibility is thoughtfully planned; a paved path leads to a picnic area, making it perfect for visitors with mobility challenges. Despite its seclusion, Fuller Lake can get busy during weekends, so plan your visit accordingly to enjoy its undisturbed beauty. Whether you're aiming for some peaceful solitude, a canoeing adventure, or simply a stunning photo opportunity, Fuller Lake offers a little piece of paradise right in California's backcountry.
