I am curious about fishing those high mountain lakes, 6500 - 7500ft.

Are they typically "ready to fish" when they open, I Guess I am asking how much snow is still up there in July "typically".

I am thinking in the Kananaskis area. I think Chester is the most northern and one of the highest in elevation, so just for an example what are peoples experiences fishing Chester in July?

Is it better to give the lake a little more time to warm up and go in August? They are all a significant significant hike so I would like to give myself the best chance to actually catch something. I read on here people wanting to go opening day so I am guess it is good fishing when it opens, I would just like to make sure.

Thanks for the help.
