User input for Gardisky Lake, Central Sierra Nevada, Mono County, California:
David Eidell:
Steep trail with many switchbacks approx. one-and-a-quarter miles in length. The lake has perhaps an overpopulation of brook trout. Best place to fish is from the north shore about halfway. Use night crawlers, or a # 12 or 14 dry fly called a ''Lake Mary Special''. In several years of fishing perhaps twenty or so visits, I managed to catch a brookie slightly less than ten inches in length. The most unusual fish was an eight-incher with a four inch brook halfway down its throat (hook got caught in dorsal fin!). Advice: This is a poor location to get caught in a thunderstorm. Worse, is that when that steep trail gets wet is gets quite slick and can be a real downhill challenge. Also downhill is not very nice to middle-aged knees! The scenery is top notch, take advantage of the awe-inspiring view of the spectacular peaks as you leave and head back toward highway 120 down the gravel road.
Chris Delgado:
Today (July 23,2007) me and my ten family members climbed gardisky Lake. It is the most beautiful lake I have ever seen. I got about 7 bites but only caught two. This lake truly says that God exist and shows His marvels.

Whohoo, so much exciting stuff in one place! Gardisky Lake is great!
