For the record I have done more fishing than my recent blog activity would suggest! I hit a few streams around town and the wife and I hit my local grayling factory. She managed one around 18'' and chunky and I got one around 17. A few pan sized cutties also came to hand. I managed to hook into one really nice cutthroat (around 18 inches) but he took a long run and snapped my tippet. Today my wife, a friend, and I hike 4.4 miles up into Snyder Lake.
We saw tons of water flowing from the snowfields. Runoff is in full effect in the Flathead Drainage. After hiking up 1.6 miles of steep switchbacks we met up with the Snyder Lake Trail. This trail climbed steadily up to the lake.
This lake was hard to fish around but we managed to find a few spots to drop a fly. The fish were small but very colorful and extremely aggressive.
This is where I waded in to my knees. Before I entered the water I caught two little cutties in less than 6 inches of water.
After catching a few of these little gems we headed up toward Logan Pass, but ended up turning around due to car troubles...
Stay Tuned: Summer is here and I'll be trying to get up to more of these high mountain lakes filled with eager fishes!
