How to bring home your limit.
Go to Ten Lakes.
Fish the lower, largest lake in the morning and again about dinnertime. Throw back most of them. Eat 3 or 4. Next morning, keep about 10 of the best ones, find a remainder of a snowbank, pack cleaned fish in a ziplock, pack in bear can (dual use: ice chest) then carefully pack in top of your backpack.
Not pictured: the ranger who came along while we were packing it. Have wilderness permit and fishing license handy.
The bag limit for brook trout is about 10 per person.
Artificial lures only. Flies and a bobber, spincast, maybe a rooster tail or little Mepps for variety. Black ants, small beetles, parachute hopper or beadhead nymph work best on subalpine brookies.
