I've fished alot of the high lakes in Washington State, mostly back in the 70-80's. Caught brookies, rainbows, cutt-bow's cutt's and even some lake trout out of Eightmile Lake. Planned on going after the Grayling @ Upper Granite lake, but never did. Did fish Whale lake in Skagit Co. that had Goldens planted in it, but all we caught were some really big cutt's. I'd love to see some pic's of these fish that you have caught over the years.

Heres me in about 1978 with a whale lake cutt...



Gotta love that hair......

Interesting that you fished Whale but never made it to Granite. Aren't they in the same general area.

Pretty much, we did Whale, Arrowhead, Enjar/Hamar and Slide lake all in one shot on this mostly cross-country loop. Lots of lakes up their to fish, and I had a hiking buddy who had his own ideas about which lakes he wanted to go to. We did all the lakes on the north side of Snowking Mt. one summer, 2 of my buddys climbed it. I fished snowking lake all day instead.....

You fished Slide lately? I thought I would get up there this year, but didn't.

Nope, did take my biggest cutt out of that lake thou. A big Montana black-spot buck, that badboy must have been 4 lbs!!...C/22
