Beautiful fish! Classic Rawson shape-deep but narrow. One of my favourite places to fish. Thanks for sharing!

Nice fish. Looks like the condition factor is falling off again....too many fish for the food resources available. They should open up the season again next year with a 2 fish limit to thin them out a bit. Review after a year of culling

I went a week ago and it fished well but I also caught a couple of this size that were starved and really skinny. I actually felt a little bad for bothering them and using their energy reserves. Maybe the lake is over populated and may need some trimming as goldscud suggested. That was the first time up there for me. Gorgeous place!

Fairly easy, few switchbacks up off of the upper K lake circuit. Absolutely stunning lake.
