Also known as PELTON RESERVOIR, this very narrow, relatively deep eight mile long reservoir is located just below Lake Billy Chinook on the Warm Springs Indian Reservation. A permit is required to fish it. Simtustus has produced numerous giant rainbow trout to more than 24 pounds, bull trout to at least 20 pounds and a number of brown trout in the 15 pound class. They grow to giant sizes on a diet of kokanee salmon and squawfish. In some of the more shallow coves in the lower east side of the reservoir there are a few largemouth and smallmouth bass and other spiny rays that never seem to be fished for.
