DSCF0352.JPG13 viewsScoop 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.Sep 21, 2020

DSCF0350.JPG12 viewsI walk completely around the Hummock Lake, catching only smaller rainbow trout that are all released. A bit disappointing, but I have never had much success fishing this lake twice before. The trail climbs above the steep inlet at the south end of the lake, to Windy Devil, beyond the trees in the low point in the saddle left (east) of the peak. I break camp, and head up to Scoop Lake, fly rod in hand.Sep 21, 2020

DSCF0345.JPG12 viewsThe saddle between the two Boulder Lake basins from the southeast end of Hummock Lake. It is not readily apparent where the exact route I took crosses. I believe it is the notch just under the cloud. Hidden Lake is doing as its name implies.Sep 21, 2020

DSCF0340.JPG11 viewsOnce again, I have the “primo” camp at the southeast end of Hummock Lake (and the entire lake) to myself. By 8:00 pm, the tent is up, food hang set, water pumped, and I am ready to make dinner. The weather threat has diminished. Despite being tempted by some large fish rings on the glassy surface of the lake, I decide to fish early in the morning. Wilderness police have been destroying the established fire rings, making it an effort to cook any fish I might catch over the coals. Firewood is provided!Sep 21, 2020
