Information on Jump Off Joe Lake:
Cutthroat trout are the only species in the lake. Your best bet here is fly fishing from a float tube or throwing spinners from the shore. Be careful of downed wood in the lake. It looks like a good way to get to where the fish are, but it is unstable and can shift at any time. There�s a great view of the Desolation Creek watershed from the lake. Rock formations on the southwest side of the lake make for great pictures.
