Seven acres on excellent trail across the plateau, with fat rainbows that nobody can account for. Nice camping and plenty of firewood.

Fourteen acres on trail across the plateau, holding rainbows to nearly twenty inches. FWP fished it in 2025 and landed one.

Empty for forty years, then stocked with arctic grayling in 2022 and holding them by 2025. Excellent camping, and on trail from every direction.

Twenty-four acres at 9,794 feet with self-sustaining cutthroat to seventeen inches. Somebody put five thousand largemouth bass in it in 1988.

Eight acres at 9,625 feet, two miles northwest of Lake Surrender and off trail. The prettiest lake we saw in nine days on the plateau.

Just over an acre at 9,956 feet, at the far corner of the basin above Lake Surrender alongside Hermit. Nothing published about it anywhere.

Three acres at 10,034 feet, the highest and furthest corner of the basin above Lake Surrender. Nothing published about it anywhere.

Three acres and forty feet deep, stocked with goldens meant to seed the water below it. Good camping, and the only decent firewood up here.

Nine acres at 9,347 feet, half a mile southeast of Needle in the upper basin above Lake Surrender. Nothing published about it anywhere.

Two acres a third of a mile below Dryad, and the crossroads for the whole upper basin. Nothing published about it anywhere.

Five acres and forty-five feet deep, holding golden trout to nearly nineteen inches. FWP netted them and could not catch one on a rod.

The lowest lake on the Flood Creek side, with good numbers of hybrids. The short way in is four trailless miles FWP calls torture.

Nineteen acres on Flood Creek with three self-sustaining populations and fish to seventeen inches. FWP says they fight hard.

The best camping we found in nine days on the Lake Plateau, above a lake FWP says is full of colorful hybrids and everything in between.

Forty-six feet deep on the Lake Plateau, holding golden, rainbow and cutthroat all crossed together. FWP calls them colorful hybrids.

Fifteen acres and shallow, with abundant rainbow-golden hybrids. There is a trail to it, and going cross-country instead was a mistake.

Fifty-four acres and the biggest water on the Lake Plateau. Rainbow-golden hybrids to seventeen inches that FWP says fight hard.

Fifty acres and the hub of the Lake Plateau, with several trails serving it. Self-sustaining rainbows that nobody can account for.

Golden trout to eighteen inches, and FWP says they are more willing to take a fly here than at most golden lakes. A short walk from Martes.

Deliberately understocked to grow big cutthroat, and it works. FWP's last survey averaged over sixteen inches. Good camping at the east end.
