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.
It's seems that is a lesson that needs to be learned at least once the hard way. Provided everyone has the necessary supplies, I've come to enjoy the reasonably bad weather trips. As long as everyone is warm and dry, I enjoy lounging around camp shooting the breeze. Sometimes it can be just as refreshing as whatever activity was planned.
Did you go high enough into the mountains to go after furbearing trout?
