Macon Lake

Elevation 10,771 feet. Macon Lake. I camped close to the shore and fished all around the lake. All I landed were Brook Trout. Fishing was slow but I was able to catch fish on sinking line and Tiger Mickey Finns. The color of the fish was bright silver. The fish did not fight a lot. Perhaps the cold high mountain location affected their metabolism. I caught about 5 or 6 fish on sinking line with another fish in the morning on a dry Blue Wing Olive. These fish were slightly bigger than the 8 inch trout I have been catching so far.
