You complain about the information I put out there.....and then you post multiple responses to it and other posts bumping this back to the top so more people see it, find it, and read it....oh, the irony!
Back to the original question: what are some good brook trout lakes on Boulder. I would also suggest trying Oak Creek Reservoir--although I believe it is in a down cycle right now, on up cycles, it can pump out some real pigs. Although the information on this link is old--1977--it still has a lot of valuable information on it:

And...just FWIW, the strain of Boulder Mountain brookies has not changed and 5-6 pound brookies are caught on the mountain virtually every year!
Also, the questionnaire mentioned above is linked below....not sure where it says that 90% of anglers want it to be a trophy brook trout mountain, though. I did see that 72% of those surveyed were looking for trophy fish and 42% said that when choosing a lake fish size is most important. I also noticed that McGath was one of the most popular lakes on the mountain and that over 70% of fishermen surveyed said that management was good or excellent. I also noticed that 65% of Boulder Mountain lakes are managed for brook trout while only 17% are managed for tiger trout and only 12% are managed for cutthroat....anyway, vent on!
