On Saturday July 19th. I fished Round lake, Sand lake and Fish lake for greyling with some success. I lefted the Dry fork/ fish lake trail head around 6am and hiked up to the lakes. On the way up I saw 7 Deer, 2 with horns. I saw a rabbit that was the size of a medium size dog. I heard wood peckers and hummingbirds.[

I started at round lake with the fly and bubble combo with no luck. There were 2 guys fishing it when I got there so I didn't stay too long. I moved up to Sand lake and used the fly and bubble with no luck ,before long I switched to a mepps with a gold blade and caught a greyling on the first cast. Those Greyling were a blast to catch. They were small but it was fun catching them.It was amazing. The greyling would just cruise the shore and it didn't seem like they cared that I was fishing for them.I caught 7 in a short time. Then I moved up to Fish lake and switched to a black roostertail and the fishing picked up. I caught 13 greyling and 3 beautiful brookies. the brookies were about 13"long.[]
The thunder and clouds to roll in so i started so to make my way back down the mountain.[
] I was amazed at the number of people that were hikeing up the trail in the rain and lighting. I passed a scout troop and some hikers. I made it back to the car around 2:30am
It was a 8 mile round trip to Fish lake. It was a hard rocky and muddy hike. I would rate it a 8 out of 10. If you try this hike bring a lot of water,food and bug spray. It was a great trip. I just wish that I could of fished them longer.
