Wiggin's even appears in the movie but that's just trivia. You need to stop at Wiggin's for yourself. A multitude of items are squished into this all-purpose shop. Anything you could possibly need on a camping trip at Frenchman's Reservoir can be found here. Location for Donna’s Meat Market.

"Very few," Shirley Wiggins says, emphasizing the moment with a point of her index finger, "go home empty-handed. Oh, is the fishing good at Frenchman."
Wiggins should know. Since 1968, Shirley and her husband, Richard, have watched anglers carry stringers of fish -- trout and catfish, mostly -- to Wiggins Trading Post to brag. To get their picture taken. To buy ice and ice cream novelties. Bait, lures -- whole fishing rigs, in Sierra County and Plumas County. Wiggins Trading Post on Highway 70 is the last outpost, the last stop for anglers before the eight mile drive up the Little Last Chance Creek canyon to Frenchman Lake. The Department of Water Resources lake -- it is managed by the Plumas National Forest -- has 21 miles of fishable shoreline, four campgrounds and two boat launches.
