Notes

Wind still random and variable. Fished before hike up to upper and lower lakes. Once done with hike in the afternoon we fished a little as we walked around the lake. Saw two huge trophy sized rainbows (over 26inches?). One came up from deep water on the West side of the lake and grabbed something off the top and bolted back down. The other was by the camp on the North side of the lake, and it was just cruising.
