For over 30 years, the Lockhart Family, of four generations, has
been in the process of developing the finest fishing resort
in the Western United States. Lake Amador Resort, located
in the foothills of the Sierras, is only one hour from Sacramento
or Stockton and two hours from the entire Bay area.
Years ago we realized that Mother Nature, alone, could not
provide the quality of fishing that our anglers deserved.
We set out to raise the best eating, hardest fighting, and
biggest trout anywhere in the country. We imported a special
strain of crossbred trout from Switzerland, the Donaldson Trout. They are part Steelhead, Cutthroat, and Rainbow. Anglers from all over the world now rave about
the spectacular jumps and awesome fight that these unique
fish exhibit.
Weekly trout plants of up to 5000 pounds, averaging 2-6+lbs.
each, provide not only fabulous fishing, but also the best
catching ratio in the country. Besides trout, Lake Amador
held the Largemouth Bass record for Northern California
for over 10 years at 17.1 lbs., our bass fishing is simply
superb!! Since there is NO SKIING or Jet Skis, the peaceful
adventure on the 400-acre, 13 1/2 miles of beautiful Lake
Amador shoreline will keep the angler returning often.
Other trophy fish are also abundant. Huge catfish up to
40 pounds are caught all summer long. Slab side Crappie
and 2 pound Bluegill round out the bountiful fish population
waiting to provide hours of exciting fishing adventure.
Complete facilities that cater to every need are available on the shoreline
for your convenience.The Tackle Box Cafe, located in the Lodge, serves
food with a seasonal schedule. Also located in the lodge is a large general
store and beer bar with a large screen t.v. so you don't have to miss
your favorite game. A well-stocked bait and tackle store with rental boats,
always ready for your enjoyment, is also located in the lodge.
We now have an expanded launching
ramp with new docks and a paved parking area lighted at
night for those nocturnal fishing adventures. Full hook-up
RV sites and a 150 site campground, with showers and flush
toilets, are nestled along the shoreline of Lake Amador
available year round with reservations or just show up,
we always have room, except maybe holidays. Come and visit
soon. Catch yourself an adventure so close to home you'll be hooked for life!! |
