DSCF0424.JPG3 viewsI was getting a few bites, but not catching anything until another fly fisherman, on his way to the upper lakes, gave me a grasshopper. He caught the larger rainbow trout at Cirque and brought it back to me. I caught the smaller one at Cove, catching more about the same size as the larger fish later in the trip
