Esmond Lake it is..

  I Google searched Esmond Lake, and came up with very little information. Everything useful came from a pair of fellow fishing bloggers, onemuleteam.wordpress.com and oregonflyfishingblog.com. A big thanks to those guys, without their documentation I would know nothing, except where it is on a map. I am very excited about what I have learned, and after sharing with my partner Rusty, we have decided to check it out. There is an access road that leads most of the way to the lake, a shortish hike through rough terrain, and contains native cutthroat trout. Its close to home in an area I'm familiar with, appears to be relatively unknown and secluded. Plus it is very close to some mushroom gathering places I know. Sold... Esmond Lake it is!
