Beaver Lakes next of
Mammoth 3 miles.

1932,
May 28,
Yellowstone
A party of 8 of us went fishing at the
lake this afternoon but only 1 fish
was caught. This was a rainbow trout.
One other rainbow was caught during
the afternoon by a man shot in our
party. About 15 people were fishing all
afternoon, but it was reported that
fishing had been good in the early
morning. The day was rainy & windy.
George & I returned between 5:00 PM -
7:00 PM, hiking across the hill to
Cremator Gulch. The first pond east
of the lake had 3 breams swimming
in it. We watched them for about
1/2 hour but they did not get out of
the water. They have cut considerable
aspen in the vicinity, but still have
a good supply of willow aspen
left.
Up on the hill behind the
administration building near the
old horse corral, we flushed a cow
calf from a small thicket of
aspens. She disappeared immediately.
But her calf, the first we have seen
this season was hidden in the
thickest. It looked about 2 days old.
It was frightened but did not move
even when we touched it.
