High in the Sierra Nevada mountains and just ten minutes from the town of Truckee lies Sawmill Lake, Northstar-at-Tahoe�s (Northstar) secluded 10-acre reservoir surrounded by high country ponderosa forest that is every flyfishing enthusiast�s dream.

Sawmill Lake is now open and offering phenomenal catch-and-release flyfishing, stocked with hundreds of bright fighting rainbow trout. Anglers are sure to catch their fill as fishing at Sawmill Lake is limited to four rods at a time. The snow is melting steadily on the mountains making for excellent water levels. At an elevation of nearly 8,000 feet, the lake stays relatively cool and supports a large number of trout and diverse aquatic insects. In fact, one of Sawmill�s unique qualities is that it contains only trout, ranging from 14 to 28 inches long, in its crystal clear waters.

Reservations are strongly recommended. Guests can reserve a fishing day by phone or email and must confirm their spot on the lake by paying in advance. Equipment is available at no extra cost and there is a guide on-site daily to provide helpful hints.

2004 Rates (California fishing license required) Half day $75 Full day $110 (All equipment included except leaders and flies)

Instruction and Guiding Rates Half day $225 Full day $300 (All equipment included except leaders and flies)

Northstar-at-Tahoe is located off Highway 267, just six miles from the North Shore of Lake Tahoe. For more information or to make a reservation for flyfishing at Sawmill Lake, please call (530) 582-5393 or log onto www.NorthstarAtTahoe.com.
