Trout abundant in the lake. In less than one 
hour I cought 35 trout with the ravellings 
from my khaki trousers as bait for the first 
fish, then used a trout fin for the rest, 
pernald came in to camp a little later and as 
a result of his hour's fishing had 36 trout, 
the largest being 7 t inches long. He cought 
all his trout from a rock with the fin of one 
fish as bait for all.

Hazy from smoke. Spent the early A. M. taking 
care of plants. About 9.30 A. M. Cote', Fernald, 
and I started up the mountain via now's Trail 
going from camp to his trail via one cut by 
Cote'. Reached top of first spur (2970 feet) 
where we could look down on Americain Lake at 
10.30 A. M. Made a sketch of the lake. From 
here we worked east and then north to the top 
of a high peak which was 3760 feet altitude. 
We then went north to the edge of the next ravine 
and east along its upper edge and then down to a 
rectangular shaped pond- one of six seen in the 
gorge; emptying into the dust fork ol the Ste. 
Aane River. Ate lunch^at south end of this pond, 
where we got some very cold v/ater at the inlet.
