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.
