Black Lake Fishing

Black Lake near Vail Pass is one of our favorite spots. It is so picturesque and serene. Last year Steve caught two large trout here and we grilled them for dinner that evening. Steve went fishing here the day after our 11 mile hike and I accompanied him and just read and relaxed.

Steve tried lots of lures and live bait and he fished for hours, but the fish were not biting much.

This is a closer view of the mountains beyond the lake. In some photos they seem small and distant, but as you can see the are quite formidable.

Although Steve caught just three small fish, we thoroughly enjoyed the cool weather, sunshine and the the beauty that God has provided.
