Blue Lakes consists of "Upper Blue Lake" and "Lower Blue Lake". Upper Blue Lake features colder, deeper water, and is known primarily for its trout fishing (the CDFW stocks it often in the colder months). Although bass fishing can be good during the summer as well.

Lower Blue Lake isn't as deep as its counterpart and is primarily a warm water fishery providing solid bass, crappie, and catfish action in the warmer months. Trout are not stocked.
