The Mosquitoes are still here, so don't forget to suck down some B12 and bring a wreath of garlic around your neck, you're gonna need it. Weather has been great the entire week, no fire smoke, no clouds, no rain, just "lottsa" great fishing.

Alpers was stocked by the County Enhancement program, and DFG planted in all 3 lakes. Fishing has been exceptional on gold/red Bouyant's and with gold/dots, Z-Ray's, Red/gold Hot Shot and yellow Rooster Tails. Kastmaster's have also been doing well for those willing to feed the lake metal, but crawlers have been the hot ticket for most of the week.

Tubers are still experiencing cold water from all the snow melt above and there is still snow on the south side of the lake against the mountain. Trees are green and the wild iris is in full bloom. Wildflowers around the Frog lakes are incredible. This is a beautiful time of year if you can afford the trip for excellent fishing and photography. No joke!

Dave Breiter and Steve Ring had some 40 fish days on olive wooly buggers, and they are starting to look water logged, the guys, not the buggers.

Backcountry lakes have been incredible and the trail is almost clear to the top. Summit Pass has some snow on the east edge of the pass but should be gone in about another week depending on the heat and it has been hot.
