Fishing was good, but we didn’t hit it very hard…the hike up took it’s toll on me 😳 . We got up there around dusk on Saturday night and managed a few casts, me with a mosquito-type dry fly and my buddy with a small spinner. I ended up getting a nice 10-11″ fat cutthroat that ended up in the pan right at dark. The next morning I caught another on the fly and my buddy got a couple on the spinner. We ended up keeping two for the trip and releasing the others. It seemed the spinners worked better during the late morning when maybe the fish were holding a little deeper. I was actually surprised they were hitting during that time. Still, the fly worked once you found a few surface feeders too. Had we done laps around the lake I know we could’ve got a few more. Overall, beautiful lake and fish.

We also saw the TB plaque on the boulder by the campsite. I forget the fellow’s name, but I appreciate his and the TB’s effort.

Now we’re thinking of a few other trips, maybe off Highway 2. 😀
