Yeah, I figured they would be on the smaller side as well. The surprise was how shallow all the fish were this year. I did talk to one angler who had down riggers on and said he caught some at 20' around mid day.

Hard to beat the views up there, we make a few trips in the fall as well.

Always nice to be in any of those higher mountain lakes during the Summer. Looks like your guys had some fun. We would even fish and boat some of the lakes to the East of there, Hoop lake, Spirit lake, Sheep creek, long park Res, brownie Res. Lots of great places to fish on the North Slope. Thanks for bringing back some old memories.
China is an interesting lake and currently only accessible by foot. When I first started going up there you could take an ATV in but they closed those trails. I need to try out some of those lakes in your list, it's always fun to try new spots.

Thanks, it's always refreshing to get away and unplug for a while.
