TR: Heart of Emigrant June 28 and 29

[justm]

I hike in that area at least once a year. I was there about a month ago and the fishing was lousy. I'm so glad to hear the stocking has been successful at Camp and Gem lakes. I was at Rasasco early and it looked dead, but was scheduled for stocking at the same time as the lakes you visited. They most have been deep and not rising. Nice photos and thanks for sharing !!

It is fun to see your pics that came exactly one month after my visit to many of the same places. That little patch of snow between Deer and Buck Lakes was a couple hundred yards across when I was there! Thank your for sharing!

@Ikan Mas, Hmmm, I did this exact trip a week before you. I guess no need for me to post a TR as you pretty well covered it. . No fishing for me though but I experienced the skeeters big time...

My mid point/overnight was at Lower Buck Lake. Same 29 miles total on a weekend overnighter.

Hi,

I came across this today and thought I'd add a bit. In 2012 (viewtopic.php?f=6&t=7784" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)

I mentioned that Camp Lake was scheduled for planting and it was as confirmed here and on my trip a couple of weeks ago. For now, Camp has rainbows and they seem to be doing well. I'll updated on the dead lake list.

Thanks.

Jim.

Wow, I missed this one. Quite a trip, too, for this is one of those "stuff a 4-day trip into 2" sort of trips. That is a lot of ground to cover in a short period of time, without a doubt. With that much hiking it's hard to get much time to fish, but clearly some quality fishing time was had. Well done.
