Hiked into Grand Lake for an overnight camping & fishing trip. Heard they had Brookies up to 14" or so there. Started 1pm or so in hot weather and missed a couple but caught two small ones off and on fishing for a couple hours. Saw a roughly 14-15" one along the shore though, so that got me re-envigorated.

Tried again 4:30 or so and missed a bigger feeling one, but caught a third small one. Fishing oddly slowed down in the evening though and had no more bites. All success on a Kastmaster. Tried other similar lures and a few spinners....no luck.

Beautiful out there...tough hike for mediocre fishing, but if you love hiking and fishing it might be worth a try. Timing may have been off a bit with sustained heat many days prior to my trip.
