Named for Wright's Lake, a local favorite, public, well-stocked, fishing pond (one of my favorites), this cache is a bit south, up a mild hill and on the raised rim of an old irrigation ditch.

Bring your fishing gear if you have a license. Artificial lures or flies only. The rule is, no bait that has any flavor (salmon eggs, worms, etc.) Metal or plastic or feathers or rubber, attached to a hook is fine!

You WILL catch a fish. 4 trout is the current take-home limit per fisher-person.
Park where the sign indicates, walk around the dam (east side of the lake) saying, "Hello," to all who are fishing for rainbows or cutthroat trout, or "hanging out" enjoying our balmy weather and sunshine (most of the time). Hope to meet you on your trek!

Where the lake overflows into the stream, south side, follow the path to the wooden bridge spanning Chalk Creek. From there, follow your nose, or better yet, follow your GPS up through some lose rocks to your goal. YAY, YOU FOUND IT!

Gets a favorite!  Toby dog and I finally got back over to the area.  He got off leash while I was fooling with cache.  FTF 2017,  And thinking I'm close to the headwaters of PIONEER DITCH, name of the cache I placed  last year next to the ditch off CC Rd272 - cool!  Came back after some frustrating caching up road to test out the fishing.  Hits on most casts, lots of hookups but only one to the bank, using a very small nymph.  Fine with me and Toby dog got excited when the ticked off fish broke water.   Just too many reasons NOT to give out a favorite.  TFTC!!!
