Stayed a Big Twin Campground last year.
Seems like the Twin lakes had some hooky rules. :dunno:

Not sure how good the fishing is as I haven't been there in years but Alta is within that range too.

Sure does! I went to this lake for the first time this year, it was fly fishing only and had a 1 fish limit.

Not fly fishing only, selective gear rules. Single barbless hook, no bait or scent. Good late summer and fall fishing in there sometimes. Used to be great, has slid downhill for a few years now.

I'd say Pearrygin would probably be best bet for fish, but will be the busiest. Patterson is nice, and has a lot of variety in it.

I stayed at big twin campground in June, that was the info the guy running the boat rental/fishing shack told me. I wasn’t fishing so I didn’t look it up. Thanks for the correction and good info  :tup:

Yeah, he's kind of new. Our family has been staying at Big Twin for the last 40 years, every year for the opener, and multiple times through the summer. The old owner passed away a year or so ago and his son and daughter took over operation. I think there's still some learning going on  :chuckle: They're nice people though, and seem to making some good improvements there.

I stayed there in 1992 and again in 2017. I like it too.

I learned about it from an old issue of Washington Fishing holes in the 80's. They used to have a campground feature in every issue. Still have a box with every issue from like 82 or 83 thru the early 1990s I think.

Dad has fished it a few times, and it can be very good. It's small and get's warm though, so I'm not sure how the fish bite mid summer. Others worth trying in the area would be Campbell as already stated, Cougar, and Frost. I know Frost has some big fish in it. Not sure on the regulations though. I would definitely look at Black Pine. Doesn't get much prettier setting than that, and lots of cutthroat to catch.

Blackpine will be one of the nicest if you are in to ambience.  Fish are smaller brookies.  I love it there. I wish they hadnt made the dock so nice. 

I wouldnt do Pearry this time of year.  Good in spring before the ski boats hit it.

Campbell and Davis should be good. Check regs

Patterson has variety as mentioned. Some huge bass now
