There were fish in all of the lakes and streams -- but they were very small trout! Very few people fishing. (Very few people anywhere, actually -- once we get away from the trailhead, we are often alone for the whole day.) A ranger once told me that trying to raise trout in an alpine lake is like trying to grow alfalfa on a tennis court. Not sure what that means, but it sounds challenging.
Means that there is darned little food for the trout. Plus the clear water make the trout "skittish."
Great pictures. Makes me wish I was 50 years younger.
