High Mountain Lake Photos

by **WapitiTalk1** » 03 16, 2013 • [Post 1]

Among all the other great things about the high country, you've gotta love high mountain lakes. This is one in WA, close to where I hunt in the early season. Please post up some pics of the high mountain water you've visited. It has bows and brown trout... I've taken a break from elk combat many times at this lake to drag a tiny adams fly, connected to a torpedo fly bobber, with an UL spinning rod. If you look close, you can see my 4LB test line laying on the water. RJ

Beautiful picture! All i have is my crappy pond behind my house, but it does have some nice bass and a few large catfish.

Very nice, yep I can see the line too!

Here's a lake we came across in one of our adventures! You can see a fire burned some of the area, no roads down there.

this one is one of my favorites in CO; but I have fished tons more like it!
this day was after the archery closure in late September. God it is great to be alive!
good thing I had that rain suit on my fanny pack. you can tell a good sleet and snow came upon us. but it didn't hurt that left handed 202.

Hey Phantom 16, this is close to you. Do you know it? (Hint: No hunting here, but the Brook trout are available without limit.)

by **Freebird134** » 04 16, 2013 • [Post 16]

Perfect spot for a lunch (on a log jam)

Looks kinda like the AL Wilderness area?

I'd say that's somewhere in Idaho? Nice... Were any fish caught?

by **Freebird134** » 04 16, 2013 • [Post 19]

No fish for us. We were elk hunting. Called in a bull just below that lake the next morning, but never had a shot. I think that is Disappointment Lake--and it was kind of a disappointing end.

I know you don't pack a rod into your hunting areas (and neither do I) but you should, especially around a lake like that

You should try out one of these and let us know how it works 8-)

This is the lake were I used to work in the summer time.

Beautiful! I've never hunted in the Aspen state, no wonder you cats like it there.

Here is another view of it. Some of the aspens get an almost floresant glow to them.
