Has anyone ever fished there? How is the fishing, and is it worth the hike? Wouldn't mind taking a hike there in the summer. The pictures i have seen look amazing.

Nope never been there but I am hiking into Rainy Ridge Lake this coming summer Its SW of South Fork. Also going for goldies. Never been to Rainy Ridge either but will be a good adventure. Pristine country for sure. Good luck to ya.

Both Barnaby Ridge and Rainy Ridge are on my "must do before dying" list, but I haven't done either. I plan on doing one of these next year for sure.

Sounds good! I'm planning to try it this summer i just need to con one or 2 of my friends to go for the hike, as theyre all pretty lazy. But man what a great day or 2 that would be, hooking into goldens and the atmosphere and quietness of that place.

I have fished the south fork lakes, we had some luck but not alot. The weather may have been a factor thou it rained the whole time we were up there. We fished the third lake but I heard the first lake is supposed to have the most fish in it. I would look into heading to grizzly lake, there is some big cutthroats there and the fishing is usually very good.
