A 5 lake day

I drove to the mountains solo over the weekend. as i was driving up i was still debating where i  was gonna go. i chose a new area with a lake that is supposed to contain some small goldens. i started there and hiked my way around 5 different lakes. i did not see a golden and between the 5 lakes, 2 of them seemed dead to me. one of them had substational depth to hold fish thru a normal winter but the other seeminly dead lake seemed like it would be a winter kill each year. 2 of the lakes held decent fish and 1 of them fished really well. all in all it was an enjoyable, peaceful 5 1/2 mile stroll capped off with a double burger and blackberry shake from polar king
