We'd been eyeing it on our maps for years. An unnamed trout lake nestled deep in the peaks of Colorado's rugged Gore Range. It looked like nobody would ever hike in there to fish, but we'd done our research, and knew that the Department of Fish and Wildlife had once stocked it with cutthroat trout. It took the four of us (me and my friends Jeff Rogers, Charlie Bloch, and Ben May) years to coordinate our schedules, but we finally set a date: Labor Day weekend, 2006. Boy was it worth it. Here's the story of our trip in pictures. Photos and text by Tim Romano
