IMG_6764.JPG9 viewsPhotographing the upper Chamberlain Lake (9849'). Directly over that ridge behind the Professor is Washington Lake. It seems we could have saved ourselves considerable time by traveling cross country. There is considerable uphill encountered on the trail once it turns north along Washington Creek. Looking at the map, there does not seem to be much gain. That trail, however, felt steep to me. Perhaps it was because I was under the mistaken impression it was mostly downhill to Fourth of July Lake.

IMG_6766.JPG8 viewsI had no luck fishing the upper Chamberlain Lake (9849'). It was windy in the morning, and difficult to find a favorable spot. There were some large fish out there, but none I was able to reach given my limited casting ability.
