My graham, Riggs lake

Recommended Posts

Just got back from an amazing three day trip! The wife and I have had a bad cold since last Friday but thought maybe a few days in the high country would help...... It didn't. We still had a great time with my folks and my sister and her boyfriend/fiancé??? Lol. Friday it hailed and snowed but me and dad got our trout limit. Saturday was good weather and my dad, the "fiancé" and me all got a limit. Today three of us got a limit again. Good fish, all rainbow but was hoping for a few browns. Biggest fish was 13" and smallest we kept was about 8". Saw lots of deer, bear, and even some turkey! Funny thing, I called the campground goulds in to about 30 feet using an old turkey feather I had and scratching it on the bottom of a cast iron pan!! Today it started snowing and raining so we left early at noon. Great trip even though we were sick.

I love that place. Some awesome country up there. See any bucks? We're the bears coming into the campgrounds?

One buck, small 2 point. And no bugles. Blew on the cow call a few times just for fun. Did see elk tracks at the lake though. The roads closed during the OTC hunt so they'll be safe from most hunters. Unless the horse back or walk in

Sounds like a terrific time! Right now, snow seems like such a foreign or alien concept. I am still looking towards the days that only reach the 70s! This is getting ridiculous. I envy you and your terrific trip, and look forward to reliving it vicariously through your pictures!

Interesting about the elk tracks. Thought they didn't make it up there.
