Believe it or not the road into Murdock Basin is in the best shape by far this year compared to anytime in the 12 years I've been going. My Subaru gets fairly easily from pavement in less than a half hour now. It can take some effort to acquire the golden touch. I tried over 2 years at least 5-6 times before getting my first one last year. Not sure if you read this link I posted in another post.

Hopefully that will make it more likely to catch one of them without all the trial and error it took me initially. I've had first hand reports of people catching goldens in 4 lakes and 2 streams in Murdock Basin so don't be afraid to explore other places up there.
