Title: High Lakes
Post by: HoofsandWings on May 23, 2015, 12:35:09 PM: Anyone get any nice ones so far this year?
The son of a grocery store owner fished one of the lakes I am headed for. 28 inch brown trout. I may be able to get a copy of a picture when I get there.

I once fished upper granite on 15 May that had a spot the size of an Olympic pool open and caught lots of fish. :chuckle:

I bet the road is all grown up in alders now, and miserable plus they gated the road much further down the mountain that's when I stopped going.

I never did catch any of the grayling.
