Report

I started at 2:41PM, just as the bulk of tourists were on their way DOWN the trail at the end of their day. They were all friendly though, and I ran into my cousin Emily on the trail, which necessitated a selfie stop. I kept a solid pace, good enough for top 10 on Strava, but did not redline it by any means.

It took me 1 hour 5 minutes to get up to Sky Pond. It then took me about 19 minutes to catch a brookie (the only species in that lake), and another 2 minutes for the beverage.

After completing the FKF, I fished a bit more at Sky Pond but the wind really whipped up. I caught a cutthroat in Lake of Glass on the way down, then fished The Loch where I caught a few cutties as well.

Unfortunately I didn’t get a picture of the awesome blood-red cuttie I caught there because it flopped out of my hand before I got the pic. I also lost a hopper-dropper combo high in a tree at the Loch. As usual, I couldn’t resist fishing through sunset, which meant I finished my run down in the dark.
