I have a real curiuosity about the fishing in the lakes in that region. I believe Cole Creek Lakes were gilnetted so the MYLF has a habitat.

Russ,
In part because of this person''s report, I am super interested in going up to Cole Creek Lake, my son and I drove to the trailhead this past weekend, but we got a late start and decided against venturing down the trail, but this weekend, we have decided to do it. Because of your comment, I tried to find more information on a fish kill in the area, this is what I found, so it looks like there may be some fish:

from the report:
Introduced Fish – Cole Creek supports a population of introduced trout and fish removal is not feasible due to the lack of a suitable downstream fish barrier. A fish removal project was attempted at Cole Creek in the mid- 2000s and did not succeed. Although the rest of the SNYLF lakes in Amador County appear to be fishless, Granite Lake and the three SNYLF lakes northeast of Granite Lake drain into Silver Lake, a large managed- water level reservoir with self-sustaining trout.
so I am hoping there is some activity, I will post accordingly after the trip.
