Symphony Lake, June 29- July 1, 2007

Colleen and I hiked to Symphony Lake at the headwaters of Eagle River this weekend. It was stocked with Grayling in 2001 and 2003 and we heard rumors the Grayling have since grown to a respectable size and are reproducing on their own.

We started our six to seven mile hike Friday night at 8:30 p.m. A view from the foot bridge on Eagle River.

This time of year it stays light enough to hike all night long.

Eagle Lake is glacial feed. I saw some fish rising here.

I took this photo at 12:30 a.m. on the ridge between Eagle and Symphony lakes. We found a nice campsite at 1:00 a.m. and by the time we went to bed it was starting to get light again.

Colleen and I shared one float tube between us. We wasted no time Saturday trying it out.

Lots of Grayling in the lake. Almost a fish on every cast.
