Lakes
Benny,
Freshette and Annette - These 3 lakes can be found
about 2 km (1.2 mi) past Spanish Lake off of the same gravel road.
All three are walk-in lakes with trails connecting them together.
Watch for trail markings. These lakes contain large rainbows,
8 lbs or better. Fly fishing or spin casting produce good action.
These lakes receive very little angling pressure and it would
be well worth your while to explore them.
