    I followed the clues, watched the scenery, trails and such and im pretty confident I found lake 2 & 3. Thanks Mike for improving my detective skills. Tight lines.

    Beautiful up there in the fall. One of my favorite areas. We usually camp at other nearby lakes, but might have to check these out. After a quick search, I found out that last lake is drained annually and is not stocked. The second lake reportedly has Lahonton cutthroats and brookies.

    Was there last weekend and boy do the lakes look different. So many campers (mid July go figure). Every spot you showed had campers and most were there for extended periods judging by the big trailers, rv's, side by sides, kayaks, rafts, pop-ups, etc. You must have hit it mid-week in the late fall. These are no secret during the summer. Are there even fish in those lakes? They looked much greener and murkier this year. Only lake you need 4wd to get to is that last one and it is only because of the one steep dry creek crossing. Beautiful country either way.

    • @flyfisher530
      @flyfisher530  6 місяців тому

      I was there mid October I think on a weekend, and yes I dont doubt it is much different in the summer. Thanks for sharing what you found. Agreed on the last lake needing 4WD.

    • @flyfisher530
      @flyfisher530  8 місяців тому

      Hi Kirby, I have to respectfully disagree. I spend countless hours researching potential camp sites on Google Earth and GaiaGPS along with trying to geo-locate other UA-cam videos for camp spot ideas. I give more than enough clues in this video on the locations and with a few minutes on Google Earth you should be able to find at least one lake, if not all of them. Taking the time to do this not only makes you better at finding your own camp sites, if makes you "take ownership" of the location you found and hopefully treat it that way accordingly (leave it better than you found it). If you are still having problems finding them I am more than happy to give more clues if you reach out to me on Instagram. I get just the opposite response so often and have to consider what happened to funnel lake in Coyote Flats. Thanks for watching!
