About this water
Angel Lake is a stunning glacial cirque lake nestled in the East Humboldt Range at nearly 8,400 feet elevation, accessible by a paved road making it one of Nevada's most accessible alpine fisheries. The lake supports a healthy population of Lahontan cutthroat trout and offers excellent fly fishing from shore or float tube. The dramatic granite cirque backdrop and crystal-clear water make this one of Nevada's most scenic fishing destinations.
