Scoop Lake looks promising, but once again, I catch only smaller rainbow trout that are all released. I plan to walk to the car today, deciding fish no later than 4 pm. I have viewed the Devil’s Staircase from the tarn west of Windy Devil, and am under the impression it does not involve much climbing, if any. Therefore, the late start seems perfectly reasonable. I am carrying extra batteries for my headlamp, and the trail beyond Born Lakes is well established.
