Crystal Mountain Lakes

[jstone]

The wife and I rode the Gondola on Crystal Mountain today. I see there are a couple little lakes. Has anyone tried to fish them?

[3boys]

We fly fish up there. Just catch and release. Henskin is good and a great place to camp

[jackelope]

Ride the gondola and hike to the lake or hike in from the bottom?

Is the gondola open for summer hiking

[jstone]

Yes we went yesterday. I would like to ride it up hike down and fish

[jstone]

We got there at 9:45 and there was already a line.

We tried to take it up yesterday around 2 and the line was long and they had a lot of wind slowdowns. We decided to just have a beer at the lower lodge, that guy could learn some people skills! Love the area, beautiful at the lakes.

I like to take the gondola up and walk down, but the gondola isn’t cheap. The view though is priceless

Small Brookies-lots of them.

What’s the best set up? I haven’t looked at the regs. Yet. Best set up?

Lots of small brookies in mountain lakes usually means they’ll eat just about anything.
