Have a blast. Going into the high country and catching some golden trout has been on my to-do list for awhile now (which my sons keep reminding me). If you have some any luck, shoot me some photos.
Trip went okay. Weather forecast was spot on. Cloudy, intermittent showers, windy and cold. Some snow just above our elevation. That’s what you get for trying to hike/camp/fish in the mtns. in Oct.
Still, the fishing wasn’t too terrible. We discovered the lakes have a lot of pressure on them since they’re within easy hiking distance (~ 3 miles) of the parking lot.
We had a few hits, a few lost (boys fishing for the 1st time) and were able to land about 8. I caught two, one in each lake.
Still, new Scouts hiking, camping and fishing for the first time had a reasonably good time. Some valuable lessons learned about proper clothing for weather.
I didn’t take my camera because of the weather, but others did and when I get copies of the pics, will try to get them posted.
All in all, a memorable weekend for most.
