Burnt Bacon Lake
Fifteen acres FWP calls beautiful and has never caught a fish in. A grayling plant was cancelled in 1984 and nothing has been tried since.
Skeeter Lake
Three straight FWP surveys have caught nothing here, and future stocking is on hold. The name is not a coincidence either.
Granite Lake
Two hundred and twenty-eight acres and a hundred and twenty-five feet deep, in country where a big lake is thirty acres. FWP admits they cannot sample it properly.
Thiel Lake
A mile west of Hidden Lake through a slick outlet scramble. Most of the brook trout FWP sampled came from the pond in the outlet, not the lake.
Hidden Lake (Clarks Fork, MT)
Eighteen acres of self-sustaining cutthroat, and the first place on the route with real trees to camp under after four lakes above timberline.
Gus Lake
Sixteen acres on the Montana-Wyoming line holding brook trout that nobody can explain. The lake was presumed fishless.
Abandoned Lake
Nine and a half acres above treeline holding abundant brook trout, with no stocking record on file anywhere.
Dollar Lake
An acre of Yellowstone cutthroat water on the upper shelf at 8,971 feet, seven tenths of a mile southwest of Sedge across open forest benches with no trail.
Sedge Lake
Under five hundred yards southwest of Aquarius across a flat timbered shelf, with no trail between them. Yellowstone cutthroat at 9,099 feet.
Little Molar Lake
No trail reaches this basin. Six tenths of a mile southeast of Boulder Lakes, after a drop and a re-climb, to three acres of water at 9,289 feet with no fish record either way.
Boulder Lakes
The bottom of a 650 foot descent off the upper shelf, where talus gives way to timber. Two miles of walking to cover one, with no tread anywhere on it.
Surprise Lake (Clarks Fork, MT)
Three and a half acres at 9,922 feet, a quarter mile east-southeast of Weasel across open bench. The third lake in under half a mile on the upper shelf.
Weasel Lake
Three acres at 9,991 feet on the open bench, under half a mile south-southeast of Stash. One of three lakes inside two thirds of a mile on the high shelf.
Stash Lake
Two miles and 1,150 feet up from a Splinter Lake camp, all of it off trail. One of three lakes inside two thirds of a mile on the high shelf.
Lone Elk Lake
Seven and a half miles from the Lady of the Lake Trailhead, on trail the whole way, or three quarters of a mile down off the high country the way we came. Brook trout at 10,155 feet.
Sky Top Lakes
Seven lakes stepping up a glacial shelf at 10,391 feet, with Granite Peak standing two and a half miles due north. No trail past Rough Lake.
Looking Glass Lake
Sixteen acres in open granite at 10,282 feet, with no trail reaching it. A mile and a half southeast of Rough Lake across the upper shelf.
Rain Lake
Two acres at 10,023 feet, a third of a mile northeast of Stash on the same high bench. No trail reaches it, and it does not announce itself until you are on it.
No Bones Lake
Under five acres at 9,974 feet, three quarters of a mile south-southeast of Stepping Stone and 300 feet below it. No trail reaches it.
Stepping Stone Lake
Fourteen acres at 10,305 feet, the highest water on this bench short of Sky Top. Three quarters of a mile east-northeast of Production, with no trail reaching it.
