The Lake of the Sky

CHAPTER XXVI
3/14

During the season the fishermen from all the resorts at the south end of the Lake bring their patrons over in this direction.

The Inn has its own fleet of gasoline launches and row boats, with experienced men to handle them, and it supplies fishing-tackle free, but those who wish to use the rod must bring that with them.

As is explained in the chapter on fishing the trout of Lake Tahoe are taken both by rod and "jerk-line" trolling.

Near Glenbrook, however, the rod can be used to greater advantage than anywhere else, and catches of from one-half to thirty pounds are of daily occurrence.
While promiscuous fishing is not allowed now in the famous Marlette Lake, eight miles away, the patrons of Glenbrook Inn can always secure permits, without any vexatious inquiries or delays, and there an abundance of gamey trout of various species are caught.
The bathing facilities here are exceptionally good.

There is a long stretch of sandy beach, which extends far out into the water, thus ensuring both warmth and safety to children as well as adults.
In mountain and trail climbing Glenbrook has a field all its own.
