Access is available to all lakes. Fishing continues to be good in the early mornings and late evenings. Rainbow trout Rapalas, Crocodiles, Super Dupers can work really well for the larger fish. Accessing the middle of the lake with a flotation device can improve fishing success.‌

Best lakes for brook trout are Badger Lake (Sky Lakes Wilderness), which is a short hike from Fourmile Lake, and Clover Lake (Mountain Lakes Wilderness). Please report any Brook Trout caught in other lakes. Badger and Woodpecker Lakes are accessible from Fourmile Lake.‌

Best lures are typically dark Panther Martin spinners.‌

The biggest trout come from the bigger and deeper lakes of Harriette, Isherwood, Margurette, Sonya and Wizard Lakes. ‌

Please report Brook Trout captured in Elizabeth, Little Heavenly, Big Heavenly or Isherwood Lakes.
