Meadow Joy

 

Beaver Creek Meadow near South Fork 
  Beautiful.   Caught 5 small bookies but no cutthroat rumored to thrive there.

Started the day at Crystal Lakes around 11,000 ft  elevation.   No signage or marked trails,  had to bushwhack.   Cutthroat rumored to be there.    Very pretty.  6 or ducks,  3 impressive rises but that was it.  Fished it for about an hour with no strikes

Bushwhacking out was extremely steep.  Tough going.

Crystal Lake.   Not a reservoir,  a real alpine lake. 

Tomorrow,  more time on Rio Grande South Fork.

    I'd park myself there for awhile, doesn't get any better. Looks like there are no other people up that high, 🙌
