DIRECTIONS: Heenan Lake (EL 7200') is 8 miles east of Markleeville on Hwy 89. You can reach Hwy 89 (Monitor Pass) from Hwy 395, south of Topaz Lake at Woodfords. It is about 7 miles to Markleeville and another 8 miles to the junction of Hwy 89 and SR4. Heenan will be on the right.

DESCRIPTION:
Fishing for... Lahontan Cutthroat Trout
Moderate level of difficulty

Fish cruise throughout the lake. Popular areas are the inlets of Heenan Creek at the east end and lake south end, both areas with weed beds usually present.

There will be plenty of quality fish on hand for the patient fly fisher. No water or food at the lake, bring your own food and beverages. I look forward to seeing you there.
