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.Oct 16, 2023

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.Oct 16, 2023

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.Oct 16, 2023

DSCF0811.jpg2 viewsCloser on the tarn. I wanted to get close to one of the lily pads, but it was boggy, and I would have had to remove my shoes to avoid wet socks. It was almost 4 pm, and I decided to keep hiking, hoping I would be able to set up camp and maybe even do some fishing before it got dark.Oct 16, 2023
