See full state regulationsCabresto Lake is a small, scenic high-country reservoir in the Carson National Forest above Questa, offering a quality alpine fishing experience for rainbow and cutthroat trout. The lake is accessible via a forest road and short trail, making it a rewarding destination for anglers willing to make the drive into the mountains. Fly fishing from the bank or a float tube is the preferred method, with dry flies and small nymphs producing well.
