Pleasant Valley Fly Fishing Preserve - Markleville

Nestled under its Golden Trout headwater lake in nearby Mokelumne Wilderness Area, and Wild Trout Section of the East Carson River, lies Pleasant Valley. Pleasant Valley is only 35 scenic miles from South Lake Tahoe in Alpine County, California’s least populated county. One of the most beautiful locations in the Eastern Sierra, it is referred to as "Little Yosemite" by visitors.

Flowing through this alpine valley, Pleasant Valley Creek offers open casting in the meandering meadows while the lower stretch serves up some excellent pocket water action. Over three miles of mountain streams are available on the 900 acre preserve.
