Fishing Two Lakes in One Day For Trophy Sized Colorado Cutthroat Trout in the James Peak Wilderness!

On this episode of Fishing with Lance I hike 5 miles and 2,300 feet in elevation to fish two lakes in one day for trophy sized Colorado Cutthroat Trout in the James Peak Wilderness.

That lake is beautiful. Reminds me of the CP&W fishing cover for 2016. Thanks for sharing.

I heart this video. My friend roger knew a pass that had lakes that look like this. Great fish!

[@fragrounds]

Sick video! I'm definitely gonna have to come out here for some fishing and/or camping this summer. Been looking for alpine lakes just like this one!

Thanks buddy!

[@mikeofarvada]

You're making me jealous. Not as much fishing as I would have hoped for this year!

[@fishingwithlance]

Thanks Mike!

I’m from Colorado. Living in AZ since 2000. 2 years ago my friend and I fished the Colorado river and lake Evelyn in Grand County. Last year my wife and I fished rainbow lake in the Mt Zirkell wilderness area. Check out our catches on my channel. I want to fish these lakes this August and get out of the southern Arizona heat.

[@DanielSmith_19]

Do you recommend the rod you were using at the start? That fiberglass Bass Pro Shops one? It's very noodly, I know.

[@fishingwithlance]

Yes. It’s all use for trout. Very noodly but you just have to be careful with it when moving around.

[@JohnLundquist-cs5uw]

What float tube do you have?

[@fishingwithlance]

I like this brand. It’s made for alpines. wildernesslitefloattubes.com/index.html

[@samkidder13]

What time of year was this? Looks incredible man!!

[@fishingwithlance]

I think August?

[@DiablloRus]

Hey do you mind sharing the location? What line and road you use? I am just starting getting into the fishing and would love to try out in this beautiful place some day with my family.

[@fishingwithlance]

Sure thing. This was Heart Lake and Rogers Pass Lake in the James Peak Wilderness. I use 6lb braid line with no leader just to flex on the fly guys ;) The rod is here: www.basspro.com/shop/en/bass-pro-shops-micro-lite-glass-spinning-rod?hvarAID=shopping_googleproductextensions&ds_e=GOOGLE&ds_c=BPS%7CShopping%7CSmart%7CFishing%7CGeneral%7CNAud%7CTopPerf%7CNMT&gclid=Cj0KCQjwjbyYBhCdARIsAArC6LK2T8txgCJnUuCLtju3VhuwPMOtEADaOswBiauju8m9a7N10Cc5dg0aAmCXEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

[@DiablloRus]

Thanks so much! We are on the plane heading out to Colorado !:)

[@chunthaveelee747]

Can you tell me what is the name of the Lake?

[@fishingwithlance]

Which one. There are two.

[@chunthaveelee747]

@@fishingwithlance Thank you for your reply, the one with trophy Cutthroat trout. How far away from the trailhead?. Again I wish you the best and may God bless you for your adventures. I'm a fan of your channel from North Carolina and plan on vacation in Colorado so I can do some Sightseeing and fishing for fun.

[@fishingwithlance]

@chunthaveelee747 Heart Lake. Good luck!

[@chunthaveelee747]

@@fishingwithlance Thanks, God bless you.

[@seanpatton9731]

Why don’t you just get into fly fishing?

[@fishingwithlance]

I’m not the “Boulder” type.

[@tPeazyy]

Shoot i throw that same fly spinner on a baitcaster. Great vid, im from CO too, love to see the content. We all have our preferences 😂 im honestly just terrible with a spinning rod.
