DSCF0820.jpg2 viewsJust before arriving at Imogene Lake, the trail crosses stream descending from the outflow of a small lake (8400') northeast of Imogene Lake.

DSCF0822.jpg2 viewsI arrive at the southeast end of Imogene Lake at 5 pm. The sun is low enough that I really needed to shade the lens with my hand. I want to find a campsite near the inlet. By the time I get the tent set up, the food hang in place, and filter water, I doubt I will have time to fish. I am not familiar with campsites here, aside from being tired.

DSCF0823.jpg2 viewsFinally the sun reaches my camp. I was on the verge of being cold last night, and could have remedied that quickly by using that down jacket on my legs inside the sleeping bag, rather than as a pillow.
|
|
DSCF0825.jpg2 viewsI see occasional trout surfacing to take a fly, but I want to head up to the three lakes higher and southwest of Imogene.

DSCF0827.jpg4 viewsThe view north across the lake is superb. The small island with the tree on the right stands out in sunlight from the background, still waiting for the morning sun.

DSCF0828.jpg2 viewsLooking west from my campsite across the inlet of Lake Imogene. I was not expecting to find a shallow, grassy inlet. I was hoping it would be deep here, allowing me to fish from rock walls, free of trees which make casting flies difficult.

DSCF0834.jpg2 viewsA finger of the lake just east of my campsite; fall colors in morning sun. I could see trout cruising the shallows here.

DSCF0835.jpg3 viewsMy Zpacks Duplex 2 occupied this spot three nights. Unusual for me to stay that long in one spot!
