Emigrant is NOT cattle free, although I haven't seen them anywhere on the trail from Crabtree to Deer. I have seen a bunch in the upper meadows from Gianelli last year. They weren't a problem for us as we were just walking through the areas there were grazing.

Really I've been up there (this will be my third summer) and have never seen any grazing livestock. I'll take your word that they are there, but I have never seen them.

We just visited Island Lake out of Wrights Lake and that had a good population of mostly 8-10 inch brook trout with a some larger. Fish south shore areas. No place to camp there with normal tent sites as it is rocky but nearby Upper Twin Lake has flat bedrock expanse well away from trail with sites and has pan sized brookies too. With 2 days you won't have time to visit all the interesting things in that basin. Snow fields still above on Mt Price making good amount of fresh water everywhere. Early summer wildflowers are peaking now. Permits via recreation.gov that print out the actual permit online.

Thanks so much for this recommendation, it was awesome. Fishing wasn't great there, but gorgeous area and really easy to get to. My girlfriend loved it.
