On this episode of Fishing with Lance I hike 5 miles and 2,300 feet in elevation to fish two lakes in one day for trophy sized Colorado Cutthroat Trout in the James Peak Wilderness.
I’m from Colorado. Living in AZ since 2000. 2 years ago my friend and I fished the Colorado river and lake Evelyn in Grand County. Last year my wife and I fished rainbow lake in the Mt Zirkell wilderness area. Check out our catches on my channel. I want to fish these lakes this August and get out of the southern Arizona heat.
Hey do you mind sharing the location? What line and road you use? I am just starting getting into the fishing and would love to try out in this beautiful place some day with my family.
Sure thing. This was Heart Lake and Rogers Pass Lake in the James Peak Wilderness. I use 6lb braid line with no leader just to flex on the fly guys ;) The rod is here: www.basspro.com/shop/en/bass-pro-shops-micro-lite-glass-spinning-rod?hvarAID=shopping_googleproductextensions&ds_e=GOOGLE&ds_c=BPS%7CShopping%7CSmart%7CFishing%7CGeneral%7CNAud%7CTopPerf%7CNMT&gclid=Cj0KCQjwjbyYBhCdARIsAArC6LK2T8txgCJnUuCLtju3VhuwPMOtEADaOswBiauju8m9a7N10Cc5dg0aAmCXEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
