BTW, if you continue up Bowman Lake road past Fuller lake a few more miles there is a dirt road pointing towards "Grouse Ridge". It's a 6 mile dirt road but there's a backpacking trail head and about 8 campsites up there. From that campsite it's an easy hike down to Milk Lake which is stocked with trout. I've waded in and caught several trout there.
From Milk Lake the trail continues to 54 or 5 more lakes all in a row. All of which have trout.
You can also hike north and east towards Downy Lake, Glacier Lake and the 5 lakes area. Glacier and 5 lakes is a good long hike. But it's Sierra back country at its finest.
[edit] I should add that it's quite often snowed in until June or July. I've had to shovel snow off of the road in July just to get the truck through.
