Crater Lake, Delta County, Colorado     User input for Crater Lake, Delta County, Colorado: Luke M. Reschke: Hiked into Crater Lake on 6/23/07.  Caught three 12' cutthroat trout, and had a much larger trout strike my lure a couple of times (not hard enough for me to set the hook).  Beautiful place, but the mosquitos ate me alive.
