Fehr lake has some little brookies in it. The fishing is pretty good as they plant it regularly it seems. I'd say it's less than a mile off the road. Bud and Bonnie are just a short jaunt from the highway. I think there is a trail that goes from the north end of mirror lake up to Bonnie which is less than a mile away and then continues on north fairly close to Bud lake, but I believe it's quicker to just stay on the highway to get to them. Bud and Bonnie have brookies. I haven't been to them in a few years as they are so close to the highway and I like to avoid huge crowds. I'm sure you'll catch fish at all three lakes fairly easily with spinners or flies, or even easier with a worm on the bottom. Bud and Bonnie are probably less than half as deep as Fehr so you probably can expect slightly larger fish possible at Fehr.
Also, there is a trail, I believ it's called Fehr lake trail, that continues on to lakes at the end of the Murdock basin road. This is a good trail to get you to lakes that you would have to drive a lengthy dirt road to get to otherwise. Expect more solitud and better fishing/bigger fish at lakes further from the m.l. highway. I've experienced some nice, nice cutties out of Marshall Lake. Other lakes over in the area are Hoover, Shepherd, Maba, and Cobbs. I did this loop two years ago and found decent fishing at all, but keep in mind that these lakes can be reached by a road so you may find some company there.
Whewwww, long winded I am, I am.
