Gull Lake
A multi-trout lake in the Childs Lake area of the Ducks, offering splake, rainbows, and brookies to fly and spin anglers alike. Perch numbers have been climbing, so expect bonus catches. An undeveloped launch, dock, filleting station, and day-use area make it an easy day trip. Big rainbows to 30 inches have come out of here.
