The fishing is great. I caught three keepers in about a half hour, two brook and one rainbow. I came across quite a few large schools in the creek coming off of the big lake. One school was about 40 fish. Most of the fish are in the connecting creek right now for spawning season. i just got back a few hours ago. there are some snow patches but they are no trouble to walk through. Bears are out and about as well. I saw one on the main ridge line above the furthest lake. All I used was worm and two corkies, one orange and one glow in the dark white, with orange spots. They loved it and I would just watch the fish come up to my bait. fishing from the bottom didnt work and bobbers didnt work either. Just make sure to reel in as slow as possible with snagging and give some action. I didnt catch any kokanie unfortunately. I recommend going all the way to the furthest lake. There are more fish and less people.
