Fishing conditions: Fair to Good
Report: As we transition into the fall, this high altitude lake will become chilly and the fish will be feeding heavily on what they can find. Terrestrials are probably done at this point, fishing damsel leeches, midges and small Pheasant Tails on an I-Line, stripped slowly on a floating line, or under an indicator will be a good way to hook fish. Fewer kayaks will be tooling around, find a warm day to go and you could have a pretty good day of fishing in the park!
