Anyone ever been up to High Creek Lake, the one past Richmond. I was thinking about hiking up there this Saturday. I heard there was good fishing up there. I've never been so any insights are much appreciated

I have never fished the lake but have fished that river many of times,just above the parking lot where the road ends I have cought some nice brookies,and down lower where the pavement ends I have cought a couple of browns in the 18-20" range.good luck!!"BIG FISH RULE"M.H.[

[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]I was up there several years ago. It is quite a hike and once was enough for me. I woud be surprise if there was fish one in that little mud puddle of a pond. Things may have changed thru the years but I'd be skeptical. [/size][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 3]I would guess the shorter hike to White Pine Lake from Tony's Grove would prove more successful for small mountain trout. I do know that the creek below it is chucked full of the little buggers. I do know that White Pine is much more scenic than High Creek with the mountain cliffs surrounding a third of the lake and the big pines. A very nice closer alpine lake indeed and only 3 1/2 miles from Tony's! Heck, hit Tony's too for an albino![/size][/font]

]Hey BLM or anybody else who knows, when does come off tony grove I would like to try up there some time this summer. I've only been there once a few years ago and I didn't catch anything but albino trout is on my list of fish species that I haven't caught and I'm hoping to cross that one off this year Thanks.

I was up there last year on the 1st of july. It's a ways up there. We came from the Tony grove side and had a car parked at the other end. To walk up from the bottom is a good six or so miles, maybe more . It's about to the top of the mountain so I figure it's still in snow and ice. There was still snow in some of the shaded spots when we were up there. The stream doesn't actually run out of the lake. It just soaks out somewhere so I'd daunt if there are any fish in it unless it's stocked and I would be surprised if it was. But I don't rightly know. My thoughts are someone's messing with you, trying to get you to hike to the top of a mountain in hopes of having a great day fishing while knowing themselves their isn't a fish to be caught. Probably because they've tried it themselves, in which chase the jokes on them.[
] Hope this helps.
