I missed this report originally, but thankfully I found it when I was searching for Emigrant ideas for my trip with my daughter (viewtopic.php?t=23398). It looks like it could be mosquito hell in early July, but your photos make it look very appealing.

thanks for the great report

Somehow I missed this gem of a report until now. So many steamy shirtless pics too!

Yep, allow me to pile on to the accolades for this report. This is my home turf, we've done so many trips in Emigrant. And yes, Karls, Leighton, Coyote, Kole, etc--all of those South of Woods Lake seem be to barren, until you go over the edge down to 5 Acre, Red Can, Big Lake, Yellowhammer. Those have fish--or at least did a few years ago. On the OTHER side of Cherry Creek, Boundary Lake, Little Bear, Spotted Fawn, etc, are all fishless as well.
