Collins Lake Recreation Area

VERY well-maintained family campground, with sometching for everyone!

More family oriented than “upscale,” what struck me was even though it maintains a substantial trout fishery, the surface tempin early June was z74 — PERFECT for swimming, tubing, etc.

Although the lake level is sadly representative of CA drought conditions, fishing was good. We caught 7 rainbows 14-17”, all but one caught deep via downrigger. A neighbor caught 3 nice bass to 5#. Full service resort, as indicated. We’ll probably be back...

ONE dramatic highlight (video) was a lengthy thunderstorm which featured some SERIOUS hail!! Midweek lake traffic was light.
