First fall hike of the year

Took a solo trip to the mountains for some fresh air and cardio, well and of course fishing. it snowed the night before so there was a small layer on the ground and the chill that occompanied the snow will take some getting used to. i think wet wading is over for the year. it took me 2hrs to get to the first lake i was gonna fish. i managed a few nice brookies out of the lake but man my fingers hurt so damn bad from the cold. i need to start remembering my gloves i guess. after i fished around it i continued up the trail to the next lake, although i had hoped to see all the lakes, that did not happen as the 2nd lake was the largest and just ran out of time. the 2nd lake surrendered a few tiger trout, a couple of them were real nice, and a cuttie. i did see a few other hikers passing by but other then those few, it was extremely quiet and peaceful in the area. my back and shoulders were on fire and i didnt have enough pain pills so i pulled chocks at 2:04

pm and made my way back to the trailhead
