Golden Trout
Thinking about going after them again this year. Tried to hike into Michelle lake last year, but took a wrong turn.... And we didn't make it in.
My question is, where will I find bigger, and the best numbers of the Goldens?
Michelle or Coral Lake?
I'm thinking Coral because it a harder hike in.
PS.... I will only be catching n releasing (pics only)
Thanks for any info

We fished hard! And the biggest we got out of Michelle was about 14", most in the 10-12 inch range. Still respectable Goldens, but you know they get bigger... You got 2 more months to research anyway! Lol

I use the long hikes to get me into sheep shape
That's half the reason I fish alpine lakes, and gear testing

4-5 hour hikes into rainy ridge depending on how much gear you take!

4-5 hour hike means to many people for this guy
I like hard hikes with extra gear, n weight, so sheep hunting seams a little easier
I've never heard of ghost trout, unless its a slang name

You can always hike right past the lake and fish it on the way back if its really just the hike your after.
