7. we drove over the High Mountains to Pangwich Lake
and spent the night with Br Neils Peter Ipson 40 M[iles].
This is the first time I have ever seen this Lake it is abot
2 Miles in length & 1 Mile wide. it is quite shallow
and Muddy on the south side and grass grows in the
water for 200 yards, but on the North side it is deeper
it is 100 or 150 feet deep in the center of the lake or in
places it is a beautiful Romantic place it is in a vary
High altitude I should judge from 8 to 9000 feet above
the sea the Hills around abound with fine pine timber
and the Lake is a great reservoy for fine Mountain
trout. the Lake contains no other fish, the water is not
altogether clear, but seems to be filled with fine seeds
from weeds and grass. Br Ipson lives on the North
west side of the Lake He gets his living altogether by fishing
which occupation He follows summer & winter. He
fishes altogether with the Hooks the largest trout does
not reach much over 3 lbs, the general size averge from
1/2 lb to 2 lb a great many 1 lb trout caught distance from
Parawan on the road we travelled 40 Mile
