“Ross & I hiked into Trout Lake on 6/14/02. The river crossing below the slide is pretty high, be careful with dogs or children. We hit a 30′ patch of snow at the outlet, but other than that there was only a few patches of snow around the north end of the lake. The lake was clear and calm, and we didn’t see a single rise, nor did we have any luck fishing from the bank either Friday evening or early Saturday morning. My understanding is Copper is completely under snow and Malachite is mostly snow covered. “
