Just got back from a late fall fishing trip on the west and east sides of the divide in RMNP. Hammered the brookies in the East Inlet meadows and caught gorgeous (small, but oh the color!) browns and rainbows on the Big T.

Took a hike up to dream lake to find mostly an iced over lake and greenback cutthroats only interested in sleeping in the lake inlet. I took the landscape photos which are below. The other two guys shot pics of the fish (to be posted later). Enjoy!

Nice report and I love seeing Mt Baldy again! I lived in that area (Grand Lake) about 12 years ago and fished that area a ton. Love to get back from time to time. Love the weather here, 70′ one minute, snowing 5 inches the next!
