I spent the Labor Day weekend camping with some family up on the Rim. For one of the days we hiked down to the inlet end of Chevelon Lake. We didn't get in there until about 11am. The fishing wasn't good for us at least, but I did see one guy in a float tube that caught one. I think that by that time of day the fish had all gone to deeper water.
The hike down was fairly short... maybe a half a mile, and dropped in elevation about 500 ft. The worst part was the 4miles of horrible road/goat track to get to the trail head.
There is a campground and trail up by the dam at the other end that is on a good road. Lots more people there though.
It was a very beautiful area and lake. Lots of elk around too.
