Prosser Creek Reservoir sits at 5,741 feet elevation in Nevada County, California, just north of Truckee, creating a premier mountain fishing destination. This 740-acre reservoir serves as both a flood control facility and recreational fishery, offering crystal-clear waters surrounded by pine forests and mountain vistas. Known for its tranquil setting with a 10-mph boat speed limit that keeps it primarily accessible to anglers, Prosser Creek provides excellent fishing opportunities year-round, including ice fishing during winter months. The reservoir functions as a put-and-take fishery with active stocking programs, particularly productive during early summer when rainbow trout can reach impressive sizes up to 18 inches.
