Actually there are two Fawn Lakes, and they aren't that far apart
(according to the Montana Atlas/Gazateer). Fortenberry was correct in
that *his* Fawn is little more than a patch of weed; and Jeff is
correect in his description of *his* Fawn Lake. But, it was fun
seeing all those swords and sabers come out.

I know where it is, I was there.

You still didn't say what page(s) the lakes are on in your gazetteer. Since you
said "according to" you ought to be able to say what pages have lakes labeled
"Fawn" on them. You also said they weren't that far apart, so they ought to be
on the same page, and you said "according to" the gazetteer 40's was just a
patch of weed - I'm curious to see how that's labeled on the map.

So, "according to" what page(s) in the gazetteer?

Ask Ken where his Fawn Lake is. They are not in the
same area. Ken's is in Montana and not *western* Montana.

40 said his was in Yellowstone off the Fawn Pass trail. There are some old
beaver ponds there that he probably confused with the lake, if he was even up
there at all and not just on a bar stool in Gardiner.

We should be on the Madison drinking Black Butte right now watching the camp
ground go up in flames. And, JR, you could help matters by sending a case of
Black Butte my way in this god forsaken oven in Dallas!
TR: Mopin Flop: May 2006; Deschutes
1,000,000 cfs (at least 7,500)
106 degrees
50 MPH winds (Stoneflies smashed on my glasses)
fornication everywhere (those that weren't smashed)
3 drift boats never drifting
3/4- hale (sunday)
2,000 casts
2 snooters, 1 foul hooked Redside
many wind knots
State of the Flop: Less Bourbon, more Deschutes Brewery spirits, another
year older, much too sober.

Cant' say: " Thanks Lord, some days are just plain worth getting up for."
Now on 6th Lawson Creek Pale Ale due to lack of Black Butte.
Happy Days!

No, found "another" lost lake. By the way, if these guys tell you its

in the opposite direction.

A most accurate assessment, with which one can hardly disagree.

--and I think that he will agree with what follows--I can't *really* say
that we are close friends, as we have only met, face to face, on three
occasions.

I take the accuracy of the count on faith and thus agree.

All true.....um, except for the drinking part. I'm o.k. with that as long
as no one (including......nay, ESPECIALLY me) is doing so to excess.

While I would like to think that Wolfgang and I are friends,

I think we are.

I must confess that we have never discussed the depth of our relationship.

No, but wouldn't it be fun to curl up in our jammies in front of the

I had a great day on Slough Creek with Frank and Willi and Danl and
Chas. It was easily my best Slough Creek day. We now know a shortcut to
the second meadow, if anyone's interested. :-)

Frank, I owe you three spools of Rio tippet -- 3x, 4x, and 5x. Sorry
about that. I left a lot of my **** in Willi's van when we reloaded into
Frank's truck. Danl and Frank saved my ass with spare gear. Thanks,
guys. I had visions of hanging out at Frank's truck all day.

I was disappointed not to fish the Ruby. Its my favorite stream in that
area.

When I drove to the Quake Lake clave site on the Madison I passed Silver
Creek and Henry's Fork, both of which are fishing well according to
reports. I fished them both on the way home. Henry's Fork was not
productive for me (middle of day), but I checked out a new access -- the
Mailbox. It looks promising for a windless morning or evening. It's an
easy 20-minute hike in. Three Japanese-speaking anglers were
monopolizing the risers in the huge pool above the bridge. They were
having a very good time!

Silver Creek was kick ass. The tricos are starting up.

I'm breathlessly awaiting the Fawn Lake TR. It was either a 3-mile or an
11-mile hike in, depending on whom you listened to.

It's a two-hour hike in and a two-hour hike out and when you
get there all you'll find is an unfishable mass of weeds.
Only pertinacious morons would waste a day trying to fish
up there when there's so many other, better, closer, less

Why should I waste my money? I can clearly see Fawn Lake on satellite
