Nice... it's hard to tell how big it is with nothing else in the picture to compare size too. That's a true trophy in my book. Beautiful fish!

You don't have to use a fly rod, but flies will likely work the best. The hike is roughly 4.5 km to the middle lake. Yes, it's steep in places, and yes, there can be bears in the area.

The weather can turn on a dime, prepare for it.

You can park near where you cross the West Castle River to get to the trailhead. It's a random camping area.

Was already up there and the trail is a little grown over and all that water has washed some of the trail out. Still a good hike there is over 800m of elevation gain in the hike.
Watch out for the marmot tried chewing up our gear and was very persistent.
