Nothing in that lake. Very small and the ice is too thick in winter months to support fish population.

Brutal vertical hike into the lakes is 4 miles, or the flat way is 7 miles. Either way, I wouldnt waste my time if it was just to fish. There are no fish in those lakes. The small size allows them to freeze over in the winter, which does not allow for fish to thrive.

I've fished these lakes for years. There used tobe a stocking program out there but it stopped in the the early 80's when the budget could not afford to fly a chopper up the mountain to dump fish in. They have been fished out for sseveral years. Beautiful area though.

We biked in to the area last summer and the lake was covered in a green slime of algae. No access to the water.

Fishing on these lakes used to be very good, but is now over-run by ATV trails and hippies living in tents. One such hippie offered to carry me down the mountain for a pack of gum when I rolled my ankle. Very strange - they are just living out there in the woods with the critters - talk about Jungle Book!
