Parvin Lake

Spent a few hours today in the Red Feather Lakes area. I guess most lakes here are private and even the public lakes have a day use fee of $9. After paying for a fishing license as well as national, state, and county park passes, I didn't know there were still public lakes where I had to pay to fish. Parvin Lake, however, doesn't seem to have a fee. I caught one small rainbow in Parvin and then searched for another fee-free location. And I found a beautiful stream on national forest property with a healthy population of wild brook trout.

Got on some ice before these winds chopped it up! Got some really yummy trout out of the deal!

Having a great season on the ice!

recent icefishing catches!

Oh the sheer amount of time and frustration behind landing this fish! Parvin lake ain't no joke!

trout were hungry
