  • Many local fishermen just drool at the thought of having the opportunity of fishing in this off-limits area. Supposedly there's wild Rainbow trout and bass in that lake. Rumors in the 1960's told of land-locked salmon, too. I knew of one person using stealth tactics to sneak onto the watershed property for a fishing session.
  • Crystal Springs Reservoir is a sag pond on the San Andreas Fault.
