Upcoming Programs

Wednesday, May 17th at 7 PM: “Fishing the Big Boulder Lakes (Idaho).”

Hi-Lakers president Jon Jones will share photos and anecdotes from Idaho’s Big Boulder Lakes basin in the Cecil D. Andrus–White Clouds Wilderness in the Sawtooth National Recreation Area. Jon and his three brothers visited approximately 20 lakes clustered between 8,800 to over 10,000 feet elevation. The crew was rewarded with an abundance of eager and large westslope cutthroat. 

Guests are welcome and may join the Zoom Meeting using this link.
