Hiked up to picklejar lakes on July 16th. On the first lake we caught about 10 cutthroats using small 1/16th oz lures. No luck at the second lake and then caught 5 in short amount of time at the third lake. Did not make it to then 4th lake.

Half of the fun of fishing these lakes is the hike in. It took me and my boys about 2 hours to hike in but once there we were greeted with a beautiful lake with trout rising everywhere. None of them were very big but it was fun catching the little guys on various dry files.

Simon-403 there is a bait ban here check your regs next time.

Was out there today spin casting on the third lake, caught five in about an hour with small panther martin spinners. Fun and easy to catch! Beautiful scenery.

Hiked through the rain and fished a couple hours until our hands were numb. Had a dozen or so fish on. Cutties hitting on Caddis and Royal Woulff.

Hard intermediate hiking to first lake on a hot day. Cutthroat trout could be seen jump and swimming in this beautiful and shallow lake. We all caught our limit and released many more. Small fish - were mostly biting baited hooks close to surface. It's mostly fly fisherman out here though.

Went up the other day decent hike for sure far less gruesome on the way out. Caught 20 \- cuttys throughout the day on dry flies. Only successful on first lake and 3rd lake. #3 is a BEAUTY! Gorgeous scenery throughout the journey.
