SKY LAKES AND MOUNTAIN LAKE WILDERNESS: Brook trout and rainbow trout (Cranebow triploids)

Many of these lakes will have snow and access can be challenging. The lakes were stocked in early July 2025 with small rainbow trout fry. Fishing should be good in most if accessible.

Best lakes to catch fish are Clover, Como, Harriette, Echo, Weston and South Pass in the Mountain Lakes Wilderness. Sonya, Margurette and Isherwood are the best in the Sky Lakes Wilderness.

Best lakes for brook trout are Badger Lake (Sky Lakes Wilderness), which is a short hike from Fourmile Lake, and Clover Lake (Mountain Lakes Wilderness). Please report any Brook Trout caught in other lakes. Badger and Woodpecker Lakes are accessible from Fourmile Lake. Brook Trout are moving into shallow areas looking for spawning areas.

Best lures are typically dark Panther Martin spinners.

The biggest trout occurs in the bigger and deeper lakes of Harriette, Isherwood, Margurette, Sonya and Wizard Lakes.

Please report Brook Trout captured in Elizabeth, Little Heavenly, Big Heavenly or Isherwood Lakes.
