It was a blast.:-) By the end of this month, enough of the snow should be gone to get all the way into Goose Lake without issues. That's one of the reasons I went up, to check the snow line. It looks like there is still a lot above the highline, but other than that, it's intermittent for the first 5 miles. The lake levels are way up as well in the area, higher than I have seen them in years. I was able to cross the arm of Mudd Lake on the ATV, but it was touch and go, almost up to the air intake. BTW, the band at the Minors Saloon sucked as bad as the band that was in the house when You and your wife met us up there. :-) But what the hell, the beer was cold. :-) [Reply]

Only managed about 3 hours fishing on the Tounge River, but caught a lot of Rainbow's. :-)
That's one regret I have for the trip, I didn't bring in any fishing equipment.:-) I thought the snow line would be lower and I wouldn't have a chance to get to any of the lakes. I did put 70 miles on the new toy though and I can say without any doubt it is "broken in." There will be plenty of fishing gear on that thing in a few weeks to make up for it. [Reply]

What are the exact dates you guys plan on hitting the lakes? Still hoping to make it up, and was wanting to reserve a ATV for the day. [Reply]

Gonna go ahead and call up to see about reserving one now, so i know I can get it. I believe they have a 48hr cancellation policy. And I should know in plenty of time if I need to cancel. [Reply]
