Good fly fishing through Black Canyon and Kingston Canyon. Kingston Canyon, including all portions of the river and spillway ponds below Otter Creek reservoir, trout limit 6. Good fly fishing in a very pretty stream. From Stateline Reservoir to the bridge on USFS Road 072, at China Meadows, including the branch from China Lake Dam down to East Fork Smith's Fork closed August 15 through September 30 to protect spawning kokanee. Used as a brood lake for cutthroats.
Tributaries are small but offer some fishing opportunity.
They are closed January 1 through 6 a.m. on the second Saturday of July, and have the same limit and restrictions as the lake. Lots of opportunity here. Float tubers commonly take perch and rainbows. Splake and lake trout usually stay deep - down 40 feet or more, but in spring and fall they may range up near the surface. Check the proclamation for special regulations.
