Tucked away, yet easily accessible, Boca Reservoir stands out as a haven for anglers with an affinity for kokanee salmon fishing. At certain times, Boca's kokanee salmon rival their counterparts in the neighboring Stampede Reservoir, boasting impressive lengths of up to 15-16 inches.

Spring and early summer's melting snow transforms the reservoir into a hotspot for rainbow trout enthusiasts. Boca Reservoir often receives stockings of 10-12 inch rainbow trout, and occasionally even heftier five to eight-pounders. A few giant brown trout can also be found at Boca.

With a surface elevation of 5,700 feet and a total area of 980 acres, Boca offers a serene escape. However, those who dislike personal watercraft may want to plan their fishing trip outside of the busy Memorial Day to Labor Day period, as the lake can become quite loud and crowded. Additionally, during drought years, the lake can become too low for boating, so it is important to check conditions before planning a trip.
