Prairie Lakes!
This was the final disappointment in this singularly unattractive area. I have seen a lot of lakes in this, the SW, portion of Idaho, and I have only seen one other, the
Sleeping Deer area that was as much a letdown. This lake, as Mill and Miner, had no fishery at all. What they did have was PLENTY of dead and ugly forest. Aren't you
glad that they are being 'managed' so well?
