@@Hancock-r2v Hey man, I see that you’ve commented three separate times already. I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy the video; feel free to skip my channel if it’s not your cup of tea. Everyone’s idea of what qualifies as a big fish is different relative to their experience, and I got excited over what were some pretty nice fish for me. It sounds like you’re used to regularly catching some pretty big fish; that’s awesome, and I wish you continued success. Have a great day.

Wifey and I were there 3-4 years ago. Drove it from East to West. Didn’t fish it, but had a cougar walk by our Camper the first night. A bear walked by about 75 yards away. Then driving the next day we saw lots of fine deer and moose. A beautiful drive!

Well, I might have to try that middle lake. I've fished the lower one and caught a few and been surrounded by hoards of people. The amount of people have kept me away from that area for several years. I think I might be due to go back, though I know it's even more congested now. I've hiked around the middle and upper lakes but never wet a line up there. Looks like you had a great day!
@trout.addiction4 ай бұрын
Yup, it's definitely gotten quite crowded. The middle lake has always produced fish for me, can't say the same for the lower lake. I've never fished the top lake, I'd like to try and make it up there again this year before the summer's over. I'm thinking about coming into the basin from the OHV trail on the other side.

@@westoangling thanks for watching! I’ve had a lot of success with dry droppers, usually a larger stimulator up top and really any nymph on the bottom. They love the surface bite and that’s what makes them so fun to catch. If you can find an inlet, that’s probably where a lot of them will be.
