Does anyone know if Lake Serene has any fish in it? My wife and I will be taking a hike up there sometime soon and I was curious if anyone had ever fished it. Someone we know said it was glacier fed and didn't have any fish in it but I know lots of lakes that are glacier fed that have fish. Just checking, doubt I can fish it on the hike.
not sure about now - but a dozen or so years ago there were some smallish planters in there. to be honest, i can't remember if they were cutts or bows. but it was not devoid of fish. bring a light weight rod and some dries and enjoy a few takes.
Dunno but at the very least I always bring a small packable spin rod and a few weighted spoons to "gather information" with. Most of these spots can't be effectively FF'd w/o a tube so why not...
(Not to hijack the thread, but...) Hey Ford, you can cast a fly pretty far using a spinning rod with one of those plastic bubbles filled with water. I saw some guys with ultralight gear tossing flies 150 feet that way! Of course I might have some small spoons or spinners along, as well, except that I haven't gear fished for trout in over 5 years. I think I would just go with a bubble and fly now, as the metal hardware is heavier in a backpack. .
That way works great, I use it all the time. Hard to flyfish with all the brush up in Alpine lakes unless you have a raft. That lake is probably well traveled in the summer, you might catch a couple of fish but not as many as you would like. Adam
Yeah you can huck pretty much anything a farmer's mile with a spin rod. I'm more of a kastmaster guy myself...usually 4 or 5 of the 1/8 oz ones in a pill jar will work. They're cool since they cast forever + you can change out the hooks easily. I tend to use spoons since they're so well suited to spin rods and they're just plain fun if you can't FF. But that said, I might use gear once or twice a year and that's about it anymore...
