Ken:
I am looking for directions back to Blue Creek. It is up the road several miles past Schaads. I havent fished there since the eighties and would like to go back. Any help out there? thanks   fuzzykpd@inreach.com

Curtis:
How big is the lake? Are water sports allowed? Wakeboarding?

Joan Miller:
I FISHED SCHADD'S THREE TIMES LAST YEAR AND IT WASN'T GOOD AS COMPARED TO PREVIOUS YEARS.  I ALSO READ THAT IT WILL NO LONGER BE PLANTED DUE TO A RED FOOTED FROG ON THE ENDANGERED LIST.  MANY OF OUR SIERRA LAKES WILL NOT BE PLANTED,  CHECK OUT DEPT OF FISH AND GAME PLANTING SCHEDULE.  HOW DID THIS HAPPEN TO OUR STATE?

Cliff Martin:
The gate is always closed but hardly every locked. If the road is weather hampered then the gate is locked.

Chuck Baldwin:
It has been many many years since I've been there. I remember when you could drive all the way back where the river came in. I know you can't now. Can you tell me when it is ok to use the reservoir? It would be fun to visit again, if I can find it. Thank you,

Larry:
The gate is locked only in the winter so they don't mess up the road that is only in the winter. But you have to open and close the gate.

bill sorensen:
I went to Schaad's lake twice in aug.,2006, and the gate was locked.
