Day 2 | June 20, 2024: Decided to explore close to camp and fish Purple Lake and the creek on the outlet of Purple Lake. I fished the creek for a couple hours landing a beautiful, wild rainbow and lost a couple others before they reached the net. The mosquitos were pretty ruthless so I went up and tried fishing Purple Lake for a couple hours. Mosquitos found me again and I had no signs of fish being interested in what I was tossing. Had the creek and lake to myself however.
Day 3 | June 21, 2024: Due to the crazy mosquito hatch going off I decided to head back a day early rather than attempt to hike to Virginia or Rams. On my way out I fished Duck Lake to no avail. I wanted to fish the creek I caught my brookie in on Day 1 that was closer to the trail head, but some other folks were fishing it so I had to pass up on that sweet spot. After going over the pass back into the front country, trail traffic picked up significantly and I instantly began missing the solitude of the backcountry.
I highly recommend this area if you enjoy amazing views, solitude or fishing. I would love to go back later in the season.
