      Dave, you should really try washing your hands from time to time–that little beauty’s making you look like Pig Pen. 😆

            I fished Deer Lake down by White Pass this weekend with Dave Weyrick, his exchange student Johannes, and Tom Davenport this past Saturday. Great weather, good company. 8)

              I was there in late September or early October last year with a few people familiar to this site. The larches were ablaze and the fishing was, as TBs like to say, adequate. 😛 We went in from the east side, via Twisp Pass, which is so lovely all by itself. I’m pretty picky about my lakes, and really, really liked that one. I’m not much of a lake repeater, but will return.

                Mossback, thanks. I do love the area and am aware of other options in the area such as the way trail up to Horsehoe, which I think you refer to, Rainy, and the Hardscrabbles, which I got a chance to fish last month before the road closes next year. Not sure if Dream is really worth the trouble, and am considering wandering up to Trapper instead. Looks like I want to bring my fishing pole if I head up there, it is “good fishing” or just “has fish”?

                  I’ve been all the way up the route Odonata describes. If I had it all to do again, I might go in via Hardscrabbles, doable as a day hike. I was on the outfall of Gold on the right all the way up (I think, can’t remember) and an ultra faint path materializes not too far from the lake.

                  It’s damn hard work up from Dorothy. If you go that way, it might help to take notes or pictures because there are some terrain items that do not show up on the map.

                  PS. Whoops, just read the first post again, and I actually went up from the inlet of Dot, at the far end, as described by Beckey.

                      Is the Kennedy HS area navigable after the big slide thing of 2003?

                        Thanks, I really enjoyed reading about the Chikamin trip too, one of my fave spots in the ALW for sure.

                          Slighty off-topic, but I was in the Park and Ross Lk NRA all weekend. I couldn’t fish the lake because I didn’t have any single hooks on me, but I heard the buggers weren’t biting anyway, so no matter.

                          Ahhnyway, between getting the overnight permit and getting said permit checked at the campsite, I spoke with four Park Rangers, none of who knew really anything about the EIS. They don’t have copies of it at the Marblemount office and they don’t even seem to know anything about it. I asked one guy what he knew about this so-called mess in Green Berdeen and he asked me to show him where they were on a map. Then he said he was a Law Enforcement Ranger actually, and that well, what’s an EIS again?:shock:

                          I don’t mean to turn this into a rant on the NCNP rangers, they’re a good lot, and generally have had decent answers to my questions, but I was pretty surprised that they are not prepared in any way to talk about something that represents pretty substantive policy change in the Park.

                          If anyone has a contact at NCNP who could help with this public information disconnect, shoot me a PM or post here on where I could send an email to get this matter addressed. I think the rangers should at least know *something* is going on so they can direct the oublic to the public comment process.

                          PS. The rangers at Marblemount were at least aware that such a document exists, and will have someone send me a copy of the EIS on Monday.

                            I’ve fished four lakes on 6 days this year, and only had one fish on the line, and the bugger got away. I’m very inexperienced at angling, but did a lot better last year. 🙄

                              Sorry I missed this. I’m interested in getting up there sometime this summer, preferably after the bugs have died down.
