Some pretty lakes!

Oh my, this scenery is out of this world … and the fish too! Glad to see your wife with you.

Some beautiful fish there. When I was there in July 2021 further up the shelf alone the steep bank is where they were hanging out. Tight back cast forced you to use a roll to get out there. They weren’t more than 25-30’ off shore so doable. Looks like you had a beautiful day. 👍. Some really great fish you caught that day.

Superb , Paul ... Imi aminteste de Colorado cand am fost vara trecuta si mi-a placut enorm . God bless you !

Wow, this is so awesome!

Those alpine lakes are awesome. I have hiked up to a couple not thinking about taking fishing gear. Big mistake. It has been many years. I left the crowds behind. I hope it is still that way.

I can't imagine seeing all those fish rise and not having a rod with me!

Thanks for sharing! My dad and I are hitting that lake this summer! What month did you hike there?

Nice! The hike in this video was the first week of July. I think mid July - August are probably the best times to head up there.

@@FJX2000_Productionsthings for you might not be too different from this video, then! It’s worth mentioning that there was quite a bit of snowpack to navigate when making my way up to the second lake.

Superb cinematography! What reel is that? Been looking around for a new outfit and I like that reel quite a bit ... kind of looks like a Galvan Brookie

Thanks! I believe the reel is a Redington Rise

Ive never fished an alpine lake, but recently moved to Salida, CO and am gunning for It this summer. Do you usually fish streamers? or any dries? I imagine terrestrials might be productive.

All of the above. If the wind isn't too bad you can usually see the fish cruising the banks and slurping flies off the surface. BWOs have done really well for me as far as dry flies go, and you can never go wrong with a wooly bugger.

I am planning to go to this lake in July. Please tell me where to park. How far is it to walk to the inside of the lake? Thanks.
