Thanks for replies... I jotted down NWS Riverton site for next years trip and future reference.
On the fishing pressure.. and usage.. a couple of comments.
Island Lake seems to get as much usage as the JMT in the Sierras.. Very clear lots of people get there. I did catch one decent trout there without much effort.
On Wall Lake and Mistake Lake... there didn't appear to be a lot of usage..just judging from the "use trails" to get there.
And.. we stared down at one of the lower lakes ( Gorge Lake) and were thinking..they looked sweet for fishing.. as you suggest.
Oh well.. we picked the most popular place to start. Next year something different!! Indian Reservation Side.. probably, although I love the look of the Cirque of the Towers as well, but that is probably just as popular as Titcomb..
