Time: 1:00PM – 2:00PM

Location: Mitchell Lake trailhead

For Fathers Day we traveled to Brainard Lake, between Rocky Mountain National Park and Boulder. We hiked to Mitchell Lake mostly on snow fields. I headed back early, while the rest of the family continued to Blue Lake in the snow. I returned to Brainard Lake and caught one 10 inch brook trout on a beadhead apple green caddis pupa. It appears that at least another couple weeks will elapse before the streams subside enough to enable decent fishing levels.
