Hiked up to Heather today, not a bad hike. The fishing was very good with either a fish, a hit, or a follow just about every cast for awhile. Best action was on the far side of the lake. I had good success with a Fish Creek Spinner and later tried a float with a Montana nymph 3 ft back. Nothing of great size (6-8") but fun none-the-less. Weather was low 60s, overcast (but still had some nice mountain views). Skeeters are out in force! This is a nice Alpine lake destination for anglers with limited expectations - and don't plan for solitude as it's 1 1/4 hrs from Seattle and an easy hike so you'll see lot's of people, especially on the weekends. Please catch and release this fragile fishery!

Great hike, I've been there many times. How was the snow level on the trail, etc.

it's a pretty easy 2.5 miles with 1,000 ft of elevation climb. I did it in about an hour.
