The lakes were stocked two weeks ago with small rainbow trout fry. This is a great time to try to fish these lakes as the bigger trout in the lakes target these small recently introduced fish.

Access is avaiable to all lakes. Fishing should be excellent. Mosquitoes can be horrendous.

Best lakes to catch fish are Clover, Como, Harriette, Echo, Weston and South Pass in the Mountain Lakes Wilderness and Sonya, Margurette and Isherwood in the Sky Lakes Wilderness.

Best lakes for brook trout are Badger Lake (Sky Lakes Wilderness), which is a short hike from Fourmile Lake, and Clover Lake (Mountain Lakes Wilderness). Please report any Brook Trout caught in other lakes. Badger and Woodpecker Lakes are accessible from Fourmile Lake.

Best lures are typically dark Panther Martin spinners.

The biggest trout occur in the bigger and deeper lakes of Harriette, Isherwood, Margurette, Sonya and Wizard Lakes.

Please report Brook Trout captured in Elizabeth, Little Heavenly, Big Heavenly or Isherwood Lakes.
